Victor Polster is outstanding as a trans 15-year-old auditioning for ballet school in Lukas Dhont’s intense, emotional drama

Her current situation, however fraught, is a victory. She has won the argument – if it has been an argument – both about being a dancer and transitioning. Her family have moved to this new city at least partly to follow Lara’s ballet dream: to enrol in this prestigious academy. She has a caring dad, Mathias and a little brother Milo , though her mother is no longer around.

'I have the right to tell this story': Lukas Dhont defends his trans film GirlHis 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? There are no dangerous movies about trans people in 2019. I cannot hardly think of a safer move by a film maker in 2019. 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. 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!!!!
