I cried four times during The Danish Girl. It's that moving. Eddie Redmayne gives a stirring performance as Lili Elbe, one of the very first recipients of sex reassignment surgery while Alicia Vikander is captivating as Gerda, Lili's wife (give her the Oscar already!). As wonderful as these two are on their own terms, it's their undeniable chemistry together that will warm your heart and jerk your tears. These two love one another immensely and seeing them fight to keep their love alive while struggling to support each other both emotionally and physically will set you on a roller coaster of feels. This is one of the best films of 2015.
The Danish Girl is definitely worth your time. Bring tissues.
