What happens when someone you love wants to change? Fresh from his Oscar-winning turn as Stephen Hawking, Eddie Redmayne pulls off the ultimate identity overhaul as real-life gender-reassignment trailblazer Lili Elbe. Born Einar Wegener and happily married to his artist wife (Alicia Vikander), Lili was one of the first to make a “sex change” via surgery in the 1920s. Tom Hooper’s (The King’s Speech) assured and heartbreaking tale all but disguises how controversial its subject matter still remains. D: Tom Hooper, US, 2015, 120m
