Mary S 10/27/2024 Just being age 15 and training for professional ballet is stress enough. Lara's brave acceptance of hormone treatment preceding surgery accounts for rushing the final physical amputation. Her thin body and attempts at lovemaking explain growing despair. The film gives her father little help in discussing the causes of stress. There is also no reason stated for a mother's absence. In toto, a marvelous look into adolescence and dance alongside gender anxiety. See more Dani G 12/23/2023 Good film, and impressive performance by Victor Polster. Second film from Lukas Dhont I've watched (after Close), with a related theme both, and this filmmaker has caused me a very good impression See more Gayle A 07/21/2023 Overall well done portrayal of the complexity of gender dysmorphia during adolescence. However, the ending was very poorly handled; the consequences - physical and mental - of such a significant incidence of self-harm were handled irresponsibly actually could be seen as an acceptable means to an end given the last scene. See more Bodhi R 04/12/2023 A good foreign film. Touches on sensitive issues and deals with a lot of introspective moments. I found it very singular in its focus. Could have done without the ending! Interesting style of filming... You may like it or hate it. See more Paula M 02/03/2023 A very sensitive movie. Very good! See more Isla S 09/02/2022 This is an interesting film that doesn't pull any proverbial punches. I thought the main character, Lara, was played remarkably well by Victor Polster. I noticed that she doesn't seem to speak too often, for a main character certainly - she is quite quiet and contemplative. Her desire to be what she believes to be a perfect woman/lady is made very clear. I understood her parents (mainly her father) concerns too. Its an insightful film, certainly. I felt I could understand her humiliation at times, the need for privacy. This is a surprisingly memorable film which I would recommend as a poignant film, yes. See more Read all reviews
