Recensie (2)
You won’t find a more accurate portrait of a teenage trans-girl and her misery caused by being
different and the body she was accidentally born into. The question is whether you will be
entertained by this intimate, formally conventional film, which requires reading the feelings from its
protagonist’s face from start to finish. I enjoyed it. We find a nice and important character in the
protagonist’s father, who just can’t help her on the psychological level, no matter how hard he tries.

Lara's story is so realistic that it makes your heart ache. Belgian director Lukas Dhont's feature film debut offers a sensitive and deep insight into the soul of a teenage girl trapped in a boy's body who longs to become a ballerina. She is willing to do almost anything for her dream. Victor Polster literally took my breath away with his extraordinary performance of the title role. The final denouement really shocked me, even though I subconsciously expected something similar. (85%)
