I LOVE Eddie, but I have to say, Alicia Vikander outdid him in this movie. She mastered Gerda perfectly. You can feel her pain of losing her husband in this scene. It's heartbreaking.

[thythyy]

This is the most beautiful scene of Gerda. I can feel her pain and how she miss her husband, how she really need him.... this movie caught my heart, full of arts.

[Joeyblondewolf]

This made me tear up... People talk so bravely about someone who's married and coming on as trans, but people forget about the spouse. And how hard and emotional it can be to "lose" the one they married.
Must be so hard for both of them :(

[TomRipley]

She should've strolled off with best actress for this role, not best supporting.

[bloomingmagnolias]

I love that she says “Can you just get him” when she wants to see Einar to Lili implying how understanding she is of Lili’ssituation rather than calling her Einar and saying “You are Einar” to Lili’s face, also she didn’t force Lili at all and actually just walked away

[SJMJ]

Lili/Einar is a bit selfish. Yes, she's being who she wants to be but hasn't even considered Gerda's feelings and still didn't attend anything with her - not just as a partner but as someone there with her as she was alone.

[ongsiako]

So much feelings in this scene, this is so unforgettable.

[crazyangst]

I believe that this movie was meant for Eddie Redmayne to shine as his character, especially in modern times when being a transgender is becoming more acceptable. And yet this scene happens and Alicia Vikander just stole it completely from him. Her pain was overwhelming and could be seen so easily.

[Ramonerdna]

The way her voice breaks at 'cant you just get him?', even off screen her acting is so powerful

[lilidog]

When you actually feel bad for Kris Jenner after watching this video

[bookmilla]

This scene almost made me cry when I first watched it. Gerda is such a lovely person and tries her hardest to support Lili, but at the same time she liteally lost her husband. He can’t be seen in lili, he’s gone.

[bambiirose]

Alicia was great! I really felt for Gerda, putting Lili before herself couldn't have been easy.

[erk]

she did an amazing job in this movie. I loved everything about her character. you could hear the pain in her voice. bravo. that's acting done right

[MrsZMara]

I've seen this clip many times and every time when she says "I need to talk to my husband.. I need to hold my husband", my heart just breaks and I cry every time😢😢

[LDTY]

It was weird watching this, as it happened to me and an ex. Not married, but lived together for six years. He gradually stopped wanting to be physically close to me, but didn't tell me why for years. It absolutely crushed me to have someone push me away, ignore me, keeping secrets and generally acting shady (he would talk to and meet up with other trans women). I am 100% straight, and completely turned off by crossdressing. So he knew I wouldn't want to get involved in that side of him. I never tried to discourage him (I didn't even know about it for a very long time), but at the same time I lost any interest in him sexually when he dressed up or talked about it. He later told me he had been dressing up for a long time and at least partly interested in men. He knew I was entirely straight from the start, so would never enjoy that. So I don't know why he wasted so many years of my life and didn't at least date a woman that was bi and more likely to be ok with sharing his interest. I felt completely used and deceived. He wanted me to just think of him as my partner when he was dressed as a man and his friend when he was dressed as a woman. But I don't compartmentalise people like that. He wanted me to just turn my emotions on and off when it was convenient for him.

A decade later and I still have huge esteem issues that I don't think I will ever resolve entirely. I also wasted the best years of my life with him, and haven't managed to find another partner in the decade since as I'm nearing middle age now and had to have therapy before I could even stomach dating and trusting someone again. Everyone I meet now is already taken and I'm too old to have a family. It destroyed me. He went off and found a partner within a year, but it wrecked my life for a long time. Possibly forever.

[hannakurowska]

This is not love. He/she was enjoying support she was getting from her wife but she ESSENTIALLY lied to her and used her wife's commitment

[elzbieta.golimowska]

I keep on seeing this scene in my head after watching the movie. I always want to cry, this is heartbreaking, I can't even imagine losing the person you love, which is replaced by the other in the same body. Actress mastered Greda, I can feel her pain.

[smnx]

“I need my husband, can you get him?” Damn 💔

[luish.]

00:06 lol her face like: OMG not this shit again.

[A.A_xv]

I feel such utter respect for Gerda. Supporting and loving her partner all throughout her transition.
