5/5 Really Enjoyed This
  by Eddie H (NC)
I really enjoyed this movie. It was interesting to watch the relationship between the two main characters (Charlotte and Veronica) develop. You get a good idea of Veronica's relationship with her family and their level of support. While it doesn't delve into Veronica's life outside her apartment, you get a sense of the problems she faces as a TS. Charlotte is an interesting character too. You see her relationship and acceptance of Veronica as a woman develop right up to the end of the movie. This is a movie about two people searching for something more in their lives - acceptance, love, and for Veronica the letter that will lead to SRS as well.

4/5 a good movie

5/5 A Gritty, Realistic and Moving Story of Emotional Dynamics

This is the story two women, one of whom is transsexual, living in a rather dismal apartment block in Denmark (Danish with English subtitles in the version I watched). It portrays the life of a transsexual woman, Veronica, midway through her transition from male to female - she takes feminizing hormones but has not yet received any approval for sexual reassignment surgery. The story neither oversentimentalizes nor candycoats the transsexual experience. Whoever wrote this either knows transsexual women or has really done their research. The film is very perceptive.

Charlotte, the non-transgendered woman, initially reacts in predictable but unfortunately realistic ways, using the wrong pronoun (addressing "her" as "him"), and being bemused and amused by her wig-wearing neighbor. But as they get to know each other, Charlotte begins to perceive the feminine qualities of Veronica, and the dynamics of the womens' interaction are clearly female-female, but with a transgendered flavor in the mix. The story swings back and forth between Charlotte's life and Veronica's with the emotional twists and turns that life throws at one, mirroring a TV soap opera.

Like many European movies, it is a fine study in emotional dynamics, illuminating some women's experiences (both non-transgendered and transgendered.
