Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (23 July 2016)

Pro: Eddie Redmayne's performance, nice low-key score by Alexandre Desplat (one theme reminded me of Howard Shore's score to DEAD RINGERS), nice production design of 1920's Europe.
Con: Story is a bit weak. I also found it a bit confusing.
The trivia on IMDb (and the info on Wikipedia) explains a lot about my confusion with the story. Both the movie and the book its based on are changed a lot of major details of the true story, basically making it into fiction. The details of the true story made a lot more sense.
All in all, I'm disappointed. I had very high expectations for this movie.
Alicia Vikander isn't impressive at all in her role. She was excellent in EX-MACHINA and should have won the Oscar for that role instead.
I should mention that her hair color is EXTREMELY distracting. Her eyebrows have a totally different color and this simply doesn't go with the era. I never notice these things, but here it was simply too obvious and distracting.
