... or The Danish Patient, as it might have been called, is no King's Speech - it's rather serious (between too many pretty shots of old Copenhagen), written by Lucinda Coxon from David Ebershoff's novel. Not the most appealing subject matter to me, the film is a bit off - I found Eddie Redmayne's performance slightly mannered, the repeatedly symmetrical dead centre compositions overdone, the music (Alexandre Desplatt) good but slightly obvious.
Alicia Vikander though was fabulous and I can't argue with Danny Cohen's photography. Cut by Melanie Oliver (Anna Karenina).
With Amber Heard, Emerald Fennell (who we recognise from the Midwives, though has also been in Anna Karenina, Albert Nobbs and Any Human Heart), Ben Whishaw, Pip Torrens, Matthias Schoenaerts, Nicholas Woodeson and Sebastian Koch (Homeland, Bridge of Spies, The Lives of Others).
