The Girl

This film makes a gentle point of the fact that transitioning isn't trouble-free even if most of the people around you are broadly sympathetic to the undertaking.

Unfortunately, despite strenuous pretenses of compassion, Girl's escalating obsessions reprise long histories of cruel, transphobic storytelling.

A curiously unjust, myopic, even dangerous movie.

Girl is a powerful intimate portrait that gives us a window into the psychology of its protagonist. And while it reflects her most dramatic reality, it does so with restraint and with a sensational use of the camera. [Full review in Spanish]
