Review of The Theory of Everything (2014) by Dokalu — 30 Jan 2015
The Theory of Everything is a very emotional movie. It'll make you be sometimes happy and sometimes sad, as it's revealed in front of your eyes the incredible life of Stephen Hawking, and the especial relationship that he had with his partner Jane Wilde. All the performances in the film are incredibly astonishing, especially by Eddie Redmayne, being by far the best performance in his career, and one of the best performances of the year. The script captures perfectly the emotional essence of Stephen Hawking's life, making you never feel bored (if you like drama, romance movies). It's also really nice how it's filmed in this classical British kind of format. It really helps to capture the essence.
On the bad side, the movie doesn't has that much science as I would expect it to have for being Stephen Hawking's life. It obviously has some, but there's not much protagonism from physics in it, and that's sad.
Real score: 8.
