Review of The Theory of Everything (2014) by Duncan1964 — 13 Feb 2015
This Oscar nominated biography of the life of Stephen Hawkins and his wife is perfectly serviceable, and made above average by powerhouse performances by Redmayne and Jones, but it all feels just a little safe.
Told in a standard film bio structure it has no surprises and hits all the genre beats perfectly, but what it needed was to be just a little more cinematic. It feels like something you would watch on BBC1 on a Sunday afternoon, which is no bad thing, but for the big screen you feel it needed a little something extra.
