History rewritten...?

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2019)

I have a deep skepticism these days. False 'facts', twisted interpretations, manipulated history... have all served to make me very suspicious of "Based on a true story" movies. Although they're described as such, but only transiently at the beginning, they are invariably passed off and accepted as literal fact.
I don't know for sure, but I very much doubt that one of the team was a woman... and I'm not being sexist by saying that. It's just that my suspicion is that it would not have been the case in that day and age. I suspect it's yet another film industry appeasement to political correctness.
Similarly, although Cumberbatch is a very good actor, I just get the feeling that the real Turing was not the insecure, inadequate, socially inept eccentric he's portrayed as.
However, the film is extremely well made, excellent production values with great attention to contemporary styles/fashion, and is directed well.
Although I'm never particularly keen on Rory Kinnear, he was adequate in his portrayal of the detective snooping into Turing/Cumberbatch's background.
In all, I wonder how much of this movie is actually true to historical fact. This is what upsets me and puts me on edge. Films to do with real historical events should *stick to* precisely the fact... they should not be twisted for any reason, and the least reason for political correctness.
Regardless, although I personally feel this film deserves a rating of approximately 7.7, I shall round up to an 8.
