The TVI Take
Best Actor nominee (Eddie Redmayne). The story of Lili Elbe, one of the first known recipients of gender confirmation surgery in the 1920s.
Moderate cognitive demands. High educational value from the transgender history and the medical and social context of the era. The film has been criticized for casting choices but remains historically significant.
