The movie received positive reviews from critics, particularly for the acting and sensitive handling of a difficult subject matter. David Ebershoff, Author of The Danish Girl, “I believe everybody needs to be themselves and embrace themselves just the way they are.

I also believe that everyone should stand up for what they believe in and live a life that they want to live which is also the underlying message that the movie gives out. A lot of people globally have read the book and have also watched the film, I am sure both have created a great impact on viewers and the reader.”

Lucinda Coxon’s insightful screenplay beautifully brings the book to life. So get ready to witness one of the most epic drama revolving around gender reassignment with The Danish Girl from 1pm and 9 pm on March 26 only on Sony Le PLEX HD.
