Reel Talk:
With all the reaction to the Bruce to Caityln Jenner hype, this novelty movie based on the same situation will only serve as a promotional item for those interested in such issues. Performance wise Eddie Redmayne puts in a good performance as both Einar and Lili, the young male artist that strives to be changed to a woman. A very sensitive and tough subject but during this day and times but this is where we are within society. People are wanting to change their physical structure constantly so if there is any interest or curiosity, you may enjoy this film.
