His film about a transitioning dancer was set for the big time – until it was called ‘the most dangerous movie about a trans character in years’. Does the director have any regrets?

Lukas Dhont slept through the Oscars. He was in bed with his boyfriend still recovering from the Césars, France’s answer to the Academy Awards, which had taken place a couple of nights earlier. Girl, his directing debut, had been up for a best foreign film César and there had been predictions that his story of a 15-year old trans girl training to be a ballet dancer and counting the days until gender-confirmation surgery, would be Oscar-nominated too.

All these critics can take their whiney little asses and jump off a cliff. Where are all their whines about Jim Parsons, Neil Patrick Harris, and Kevin Spacey among others. So sick of these idiotics complaints about casting FOR FICTIONAL STORIES!!!!

Since when has a movie about a trangender been dangerous? It's been done time and time again: the Danish Girl ect. ect. Get over it. Pretty mainstream in current times now tbh - so no, not very edgy. Far more dangerous things to write a film about.

There are no dangerous movies about trans people in 2019. I cannot hardly think of a safer move by a film maker in 2019.
