Well told

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2016)

This true story is not for everyone - some will never get the struggle that a person like the main character goes through. And they could learn but the their own misunderstanding would keep that from happening. This takes place in the 1920's - both the main characters are artists and they truly love each other. Alisha Vikinder is amazing as the wife- her acceptance of her husbands condition is so well shown, her love for him and willingness to help is so evident, and then her frustrations with the course things take. Hers is an amazing performance. Eddie Redmayne is an actor who is willing to take chances and he took one with this role - he is amazing and so believable. I'm sure an Oscar nomination is coming his way - again. I recommend it for anyone with an open mind - it is a story well told.
