I was really looking forward that movie. But after I watched it, I was left with bitter aftertaste. Yes, I can't deny that the movie was made skillfuly. But I am just unable to get through so many things.

As far as I know, biographical part was not completely correct. Portrayal of Lilly/Einar as two different persons reminded me of some kind of dissociative personality disorder rather than transsexuality, with Lilly personality having way lower IQ than original Einar. I also can't help but consider Lilly's movements and overall presentation exaggerated. It was like kind of caricature of femininity with so many stereotypes put into it that sometimes I felt a little bit offended.

On the other side, Gerda, Einar's wife, completely stole the show for me. In my opinion she offered more appropriate portrayal of femininity and I repeatedly caught myself relating more to her than to Lilly/Einar.

I see the movie as a cis-gender director's approach to transgender problematics with target audience being mostly cis-gender. I don't think it will help to alleviate transgeder stigma. For some people this can be even repulsive. Just imagine what would think wife of a crossdresser after watching this movie?

Sorry for being so negative, but I just had to tell someone .
