A Fantastic Woman is nothing short of fantastic Although the title to Sebastian Lelio's Spanish picture is palpably on the nose, the story and the way it's told is at once obscure and brilliant. It's at once fantastical and grounded in its realism. And it's at once one of the most moving tales of grief and the coping of loss I have seen in years, as well as it is a tale of hope and female empowerment.
