A Fantastic Woman (La Mujer Fantastica) (2017)

I saw this fabulous movie on a plane. I like to watch foreign movies on planes because otherwise foreign films are sometimes hard to find with subtitles. Daniela Vega is absolutely phenomenal. The story is a heartbreaking tale of a trans woman in Chile not being permitted to grieve the greatest loss of her life. But she is fierce and does not give up in the face of insults, humiliation, and physical assault. And there is this brilliant, surreal dance interlude in the middle.
