Variety - Peter Debruge
There’s no denying that Hooper and screenwriter Lucinda Coxon have delivered a cinematic landmark, one whose classical style all but disguises how controversial its subject matter still remains.

TheWrap - Alonso Duralde
Director Tom Hooper shakes things up a bit with The Danish Girl, proving that he’s capable of making a movie that’s both steeped in awards-season prestige and in possession of a pulse.

The Telegraph - Robbie Collin
[A] beautiful, humane and moving biopic.

Hitfix - Gregory Ellwood
Considering Redmayne’s achievement it’s almost shocking that you can argue Vikander gives the more memorable performance.

If the movie remains safe, there's no questioning its integrity, or the balance of porcelain vulnerability and strength that Eddie Redmayne brings to the lead role.
