Excellent performances, inspiring story. You see less but feel more.

I didn't know it's a biography, but it was unexpectedly good

Finally a decent LGBT piece that shines a historical figure in good light.

I loved everything about this film. It was also surprisingly funny.

Obsessed with the costumes and scenery 😍. A good film the ending just felt quite abrupt...
