Recommended. Chilean Sebastián Lelio’s (Gloria) film, A Fantastic Woman, demonstrates the unspoken incoherence of lumping the T in with LGBT, a reason I prefer using the word ‘queer.’ The plot concerns the mistreatment of trans-woman Marina (Daniela Vega, The Guest) by the family of her recently deceased lover, Orlando. The family refuses to accept Marina’s true gender, making her relationship with Orlando . . . homosexual, and in their view . . . perverted. But, in fact, Marina is female in the eyes of Orlando, everyone she knows and - - most importantly - - Marina. Thus, there’s actually nothing gay about their love. Vega, herself trans-female, gracefully interprets Marina’s suffering, with just enough impatience to win our admiration. She’s maybe too pretty to be realistic but then, Julia Roberts never looked like a real call-girl. Also, less blatantly evil antagonists for Marina might have generated more interesting conflicts. Regardless, this thoughtful film much deserved last year’s Foreign Language Oscar.
