The Oscars have come a long way. Refusing to deal with mixed race films in much of the 20th century, they now give a best Oscar to a minority culture film.

Yes, this is an excellent movie. However, this particular version does not have English subtitles. A version with English subtitles is available, and the library really should add that version to their collection as well.

Yes, this item won the "Oscar" for best Foreign language film of 2018. Generally, this is the "kiss of death" for any non-English film. Daniela Vega does a fine job of portraying the "heroine" of this dysfunctional family affair - as far…

WARNING...this is a Spanish language film WITHOUT any translation or subtitles. I’ve never experienced a movie distributed on DVD like this before. Unless you understand spoken Spanish, you’ll be disappointed.

"A fantastic woman" has a fantastic director. He approaches the themes / characters very thoughtfully. It is a wonderful skill to have. You know how some movies are "too much"? Too sad, too happy, too violent, too gory, too silly, too…

Visually beautiful. No cc or subtitles——very disappointing for an award winning film produced by German Spanish & English-speaking production.

Simple film about a transgender individual who is suddenly thrust into a situation where they may lose everything, with outsiders attempting to shut them out. Daniela Vega is hypnotizing to watch as she finds inner strength to fight back.…

Not good. It was slow pacing with a lot of unnecessary scenes and unanswered questions.

Beware!! This movie does not have any subtitles so unless you are knowledgeable in Spanish, the film is worthless.

Unlike "Tangerine 2015" which was about the street culture of LA's Santa Monica and Highland neighborhood where the transgenders live, this film described a trans woman who must overcome social obstacles to the basic human right to grieve…

For most of us transgenders are difficult to understand, but this movie made me feel a little more at ease. It is touching in many ways with great cinematography including of the city of Santiago. The lead heroinne who is actually a…

This year's winner of an Oscar for best foreign film, Chile's "A Fantastic Woman" (Una Mujer Fantastica) is spirited, moving, and visually sumptuous movie about a transgendered woman dealing with grief and bigotry after the death of her…
