In her review, Cate Marquis says the movie “is a visually beautiful film, with fine, moving performances and a little-known historical story, which will make it a winner for its story of transcendent love.”

Eddie Redmayne is one of the five nominees in the Best Actor category on the AWFJ‘s recently released nomination list for the 2015 EDA Awards.

Focus Features’ has launched a new initiative in tandem with the recent wide release of THE DANISH GIRL.

Inspired by the remarkable true story of Lili Elbe, they’re recognizing influential members and supporters in the LGBT community with the #CourageToBeYourself project. Rhys Harper, a transgender photographer, captured the various individuals in their chosen personal space – wherever they felt represented their true self.

Each photo is accompanied by their personal story of courage. The collection of their extraordinary experiences hopes to celebrate and inspire others to find the courage to be themselves. Focus will continue to highlight each profile in the coming weeks.

For more info on the #CourageToBeYourself initiative, see the album.

The remarkable love story inspired by the lives of Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener (portrayed by Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne [“The Theory of Everything”] and Alicia Vikander [“Ex Machina”]), directed by Academy Award winner Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech,” “Les Misérables”).

Lili and Gerda’s marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.
