Great film. could've been better

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2015)

I loved the movie, it's well made and it does deserved a few nominations at this year's Academy Awards ceremony, however it does has some flaws. as a start I'll begin with the good things in the movie. The direction of Morten Tyldum is very good. The score is stunning, very emotional and suit for the movie. The performances are incredibly good; Benedict Cumberbatch gives his best work as Alan Turing, as I watched the film I could totally empathize with him and understand his pain. Keira Knightley performance as Joan Clarke is really good too and there's good chemistry between the two. The screenplay written by Graham Moore is very interesting, but still, the main flaws of the movie are found in it's script. It felt like the film focused on the war more than it has focused in Alan's life. The screenwriter should have given us more details about Alan's relationships with the men and more about his sexuality. In the last minutes of the film, it's seems like the producers want us to feel empathy for Alan due to discrimination happen in the UK against homosexuals and due to the fact Alan had to hide his sexuality in most of his life. the problem it's they did not focus on his sexuality enough during th film so we cannot feel that much empathy for him.
