Review of The Theory of Everything (2014) by Spangle — 11 Dec 2015
I do not really care for Stephen Hawking, but this film is undeniably very good. Featuring brilliant imagery and a great score to couple good direction from James Marsh and a terrific performance from Eddie Redmayne, the film has quite the good report card.
A good biopic on Hawking, the film also manages to be a phenomenal romance film with some elements of period pieces involved in it as well. Additionally, the costume and production design are very good, as is the sequence of Hawking's decline.
Each stage is appropriately handled and given its due weight. Though I do not care for the man, he is undeniably brilliant and this shines through in the film and you feel a sort of sense of awe watching his mind work.
Overall, The Theory of Everything is not a great film, but it is very close and was very much deserving of its recognition as such.
