The Theory of
Everything (2014)
Directed by James
Marsh this film based on the story of Stephen Hawking and his first
wife stars Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones. One of the great minds
of our time finds himself trapped in a body which he is slowly losing
control of.
There is something
quintessentially British about the gentle and reserved nature of this
film but I think it does the film's subjects a disservice by not
being a warts and all piece. At times the film's agenda is just a
little too clear, straying from history too much for my taste.
Clearly the highlight is Redmayne's performance in the main role and
he does a great job physically transforming himself.
4/5
