Context: This film follows Lara, a 15-year-old trans girl pursuing her dream of becoming a professional ballerina. Girl is a visually stunning and emotionally taxing
Girl is a visually stunning and emotionally taxing look at the intersection of gender transition and elite athletics. Directed by Lukas Dhont, the film avoids typical "coming out" tropes, focusing instead on Lara’s internal battle with her own body. Victor Polster’s performance is nothing short of incredible, capturing the grueling physical toll of ballet alongside the psychological weight of gender dysphoria.
Focus on the quality of representation and thematic execution.
