The Danish Girl Ratings & Reviews
Bitch Media
Leela Ginelle
The Danish Girl is, in the end, a beautiful, frustratingly opaque love story that provides only a surface view of Elbe's journey.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
A story of self-acceptance and discovery that transcends its historical inaccuracies and allows it to ascend to a level of magnetic emotional resonance.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Only Vikander's performance elevates it above its pretty surface. Her Gerda tells us a story of a woman desperately in love with a man who's vanished, but whose eyes still gaze at her.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Despite The Danish Girl's lack of specificity regarding what motivates Einar's transformation into Lili Elbe, the film is still quite lovely. Its compositions are lovely to look at, and the performances engaging.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"The Danish Girl" is beautifully shot and tastefully made and acted, but only Vikander seems willing to take chances. Happily, she does.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Only when the camera is on Vikander does the film transcend its artifice. In one of the year's best performances, she imbues Gerda with such poignancy and grace that Redmayne all but fades into the background.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Eventually, [Hooper] surrenders to the visual and psychological displays attendant on Redmayne's prolonged transformation from Einar to Lili.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Hooper makes coffee-table cinema, and "The Danish Girl" is his latest volume.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A well-told, well-acted, well-photographed period piece.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Hooper's staid treatment hardly complements the subject matter, and the stuffy tone is only exacerbated by Redmayne's drippy performance.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It looks lovely in an art-directed way, and Eddie Redmayne, who won his Oscar earlier in the year for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, looks lovely, too.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"The Danish Girl" is a very pretty picture that could have used a more probing, maybe even more painful, palette knife.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Hooper's strategy of keeping it safe is bound to bring in folks who might otherwise avoid such material. For the rest of us, we must settle for a film that is solid, but never quite soars.
The Atlantic
David Sims
The Danish Girl is telling an important story, but it does so by following the blueprint of a thousand biopics that have come before.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
Hooper's keen direction is only amplified by two extraordinary performances...
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Eddie Redmayne is able to shed his own persona to go undercover into the lives of people facing extreme physical and emotional challenges.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Tasteful and restrained to a fault. It is easier to admire than love.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Mr. Hooper's tasteful, earnest, didactic style - magnified by Alexandre Desplat's decorously overwrought score - does the film no favors. And the asymmetry between the central performances doesn't help, either.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
Watching Redmayne's character blossom into her true self is remarkable, and the awkwardness getting there only helps make it more relatable to audiences who might not be on board with the subject matter initially.
Observer
Rex Reed
Regardless of how you feel about the subject matter, The Danish Girl is an overwhelming act of heroism for Eddie Redmayne.
