The film is co-written by Gonzalo Maza, Lelio's co-scribe on his last three films. Chilean newcomer Daniela Vega, in her first starring role, plays a waitress, Marina, who moonlights as an aspiring nightclub singer. Marina and her partner Oscar (Francisco Reyes), 20 years older and a printing company owner, are in love and plan a future together. After an evening celebrating Marina's birthday, Oscar falls seriously ill; Marina rushes him to the hospital. But he dies just after arrival. Suddenly, Marina falls under suspicion. Doctors and Orlando's family don't trust her. His ex-wife bars her from the funeral; his son wants her thrown out of the flat she shared with Orlando. Marina is a trans woman and for most of Orlando's family, her sexual identity is an aberration, and the only way they think of Marina.

Psychologically astute and socially aware as the film is, it is also infused with mystery and melodrama, with bright colors and emotional shadows.

But then, “A Fantastic Woman” suggests that hostility toward something or someone that is not easily categorized would be better directed at the categories themselves. Listen to Marina sing, and before you’d classify the sound as anything, you’d call it beautiful.

That urban environment, together with complex emotions, heightened drama, and gutsy female performance reminds one of Pedro Almodóvar, alongside its terrific soundtrack, which mixes Herrmannesque-style score (by Matthew Herbert) and choice tracks like Aretha Franklin’s “A Natural Woman.”

Now and then, Lelio departs into reverie and daydream, and it’s here, loosening the bonds of his naturalistic style, that he draws us closer to the mystery of Marina.

The film is superficial when it means to be elliptical and regressive in its attempts to promote tolerance.
