\u201cEmotional, poetic, intensely moving, A Fantastic Woman is beautifully directed and photographed, has Hitchcockian undertones and finds memorable ways of visually evoking Marina\u2019s isolation and bravery.\u201d Maria Delgado, Irish Independent<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Marina, a young transgender singer, has just moved in with her older boyfriend Orlando when he suffers a fatal aneurysm. Despite being treated with cold hostility by his family and suspicion and contempt by the authorities as his death is investigated, Marina\u2019s courage and belief in her own identity help her to survive.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cAn exquisite melodrama about the extremes of love and grief and familial conflict that also, when you\u2019re least expecting it, packs a hefty political wallop.\u201d Kevin Maher, The Times<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
