A great drama of epic proportions.

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2015)

When I saw the trailer for this film I thought it was going to focus on all the drama of Alan Turing's (Benedict Cumberbatch) discoveries of the infamous Enigma machine. But it actually focused on Turing himself which I did not expect. It focused on Turing's interactions with his team, his relationship with Joan Clarke (Kiera Knightly), and the constant blunders that his superiors give him. But more than all this, it focuses his homosexuality, and basically the intolerance thereof. The film works in every way showing all of this as well as Alan's dedication to the machine which ultimately lead to breaking the German codes. The acting here (especially from Cumberbatch and Knightly) is all great. It's really an incredible narrative so if you haven't seen it yet, you should.
