Timely story from the 20's

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2016)

Eddie Redmayne gives an award worthy performance only exceeded by the performance of Alicia Vikander.. There is some pretty cinematography, a pleasant score and excellent costumes.
It's a pretty movie to watch but it moves too slowly. There are some lovely moments but not much pace. The story may not be exactly accurate but it doesn't claim to be a documentary.
While the movie looks good on the big screen it may be better enjoyed in the comfort of you own home. Even if at time he looks like a guy in a wig, the subtle gentle Redmayne performance will shine on any size screen.
