      recommend to see

      As viewers, we can't even criticize the unquenchable curiosity of adolescent girls, maybe even we have such curiosity. But the film cleverly combines the confusion and pressure of transgender people with the confusion and sensitivity of adolescence. Lara is not only a transgender person, but also a growing girl. A beautiful adolescent girl has a delicate relationship with girls of the same age, and she will have an uncontrollable goodwill towards the opposite sex at this moment. Lara fell in...

      good

      "Girl" tells the story of Larry, who is about to undergo gender reassignment surgery, still resisting his body and hurting himself to make the surgery happen ahead of schedule. Regardless of the type of elements, just from the point of view of the film, this is a good art film, and you can't fault it. The performance of the actors, the handling of the story, and the audio-visual grasp are all excellent. But what is even more rare is that the selection of the story makes people see the...

      female

      Furthermore, gender identity disorder is largely a side effect of modern human society and culture. On the other hand, if there is no society in which smearing and powdering, wearing dresses and accessories, enchanting charm and female culture are connected, then the distinction of gender consciousness will not be urgently emphasized. Speaking of a certain African tribe I once read in a book, girls were encouraged to participate in competitions and competitions since childhood, so there is...

      Since you are so eager to be a girl, you are the best actress in my heart this year

      To give five stars, I have to address two questions first. One is the scene. The movie space is a rehearsal room in addition to the home, and the photography schedule of the ballet is very monotonous, and there is not much newness in the repetition, so in terms of the production pattern, it is indeed a small cost. Downgrading to an "Un Certain Regard" unit at Cannes makes perfect sense. Secondly, there are many calculations for expressing intentions. In terms of text structure, it can be...

      i want to be a girl

      Even if the soul is a girl, it is still dominated by the body, laughing without saying a word. The restraint in the bathhouse and the final decision are the soul fighting against the body. With less pressure from family members and more help from medicine, it still seems difficult to truly be yourself.

      The most intuitive feeling the movie gives me is "pain", not only from the pain of tearing and bleeding on the body, but also from the pain in the heart.

      too difficult. One of the things that makes me particularly sad in retrospect is that even if there was (probably no real) hostility, the environment and people around every step and every detail were so difficult. In reality, there is no way to release emotions. (How am I going to convince stubborn people to let me buy it? How should I present it? Or should I just give...

      1. Once again, I couldn't help crying because of a female character; 2. The blood on the toes, the tape on the private parts, the girls stared with doubts, the boy I liked can only stop at the lips, the father's concern, and finally cut it off. .. All of this under the director's characterization and the protagonist's interpretation, let people feel the pain and...

      I keep thinking of a tragedy that happened in Hong Kong. The person involved ended up committing suicide. Either he turned a blind eye or looked strangely. Is there a third way to look at it? The male body interprets the female body, with a little less tenderness and not necessarily so calm, it would be good to be able to enter into his/her heart again. But the movie is like the "child" born by the Dardenne brothers, and even the routines are similar. Is realism coming to an end...

      Terrible aerial movie viewing experience, still dubbed in Italian, I feel a little sorry for this movie without feeling it after watching...

      A gentle and truly tingling road to transition. People only saw caterpillars and butterflies, but never thought about the growth state stuck between caterpillars and butterflies. This is the purest LGBT movie I think this year. Its attributes of LGBT come entirely from within the characters, and it has nothing to do with whether the family is enlightened or the society supports it. Because I am myself, I am content with the pain. The androgynous teen is amazing in this transgender role and...

    Evaluation action

    It's a film with a human charm, with a skilful and compassionate director. As Lukas Dhont's impressive debut, it looks good in a totally natural blend of Dutch and French. He's not afraid to tackle difficult subjects, and cast lead Victor Bost into an actor with acting and dancing   . ("The Hollywood Reporter", Time Network, "Variety" review)
    The film shows empathy for its subject. In the world of ballet, the human body is bent and...
