There's a decent supporting cast, with
Ben Whishaw as a Copenhagen bachelor attracted to Lili (
for a long time it's not clear if he knows she's still a man underneath) while the Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts does his handsome best to bring to life a
character who
feels he's been invented especially
for the film — the childhood friend who once found Einar so attractive he kissed him, but whose romantic attentions are now firmly fixed on Gerda.
What makes the familiar
feel fresh is the screenplay, which provides strong reasoning and motivation
for the actions of the lead
characters, not only Judah
Ben - Hur and Messala but also Esther (Nazanin Boniadi), who becomes Judah's wife.
