'The Danish Girl' is boring, self-indulgent Oscar bait. Alicia Vikander is the only bright spot in this if you ask me. If it wins any Oscars, it'll be because of the subject matter it tackles.

The Danish Girl is not only classic Oscar bait, it is a wanna be Oscar bait film. Tom Hopper is officially one of the worst directors today.

Tom Hopper is officially one of the worst directors today. This stupid, boring, melodramatic trash is all about the actors trying to win an Oscar and a director who doesn't know what he's doing. Eddie Redmayne is hideous in this film as well.… Expand

While I loved The King's Speech, Tom Hooper's The Danish Girl is a dull, predictable, oscar-bait film, obviously jumping on the transgender hype train.

Eddie Redmayne just doesn't work for me as an actor, especially playing a transgender woman. It's dull, lacking, and does not do the story justice.… Expand

It's highly predictable and it's difficult to relate to any of the characters.

You know exactly what is going to happen from the beginning but there is such a huge jump from place to place it's difficult to ascertain what purpose arises or reasoning. We're supposed to believe many many mixed things at the same time which don't work together and at times clash.

It's such a complete muddle to accept and difficult to know what each character wants.

It's best to be avoided because it is trying to be something merely on the basis of force and that never works.… Expand

After Tangerine, I am Cait and Transparent we are left with Tootsie meets Psycho without the camp. Hooper treats the matter as an affliction like stuttering without adding any new insight. Redmayne pouts and poses- Vilkander pushes and pulls- and Pettigrew peters out of a menage a trios that would have given this film some much needed sizzle.… Expand

OK, WTF?? One of the worst movies of 2015! Chessy dialogue, undeveloped characters, awful direction and especially a painful and forced performance by Eddie Redmayne who proves that his Oscar last year was a total robbery! Not even Vikander'sOK, WTF?? One of the worst movies of 2015! Chessy dialogue, undeveloped characters, awful direction and especially a painful and forced performance by Eddie Redmayne who proves that his Oscar last year was a total robbery! Not even Vikander's tour de force could save this one from the ashes. Skip this one or simply wait until it comes on normal TV. It's soooooooooooooooooooo bad!… Expand
