Wow - a film that has a heart

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2014)

I haven't got the best eyesight in the world. So I find the current style of action movie really hard to watch. They move far too quickly for me.
The Imitation Game is totally different. Beautifully filmed, it had me gripped from the start and two hours passed in the blink of an eye - the sure fire sign of a fantastic film.
The story is so strong. The acting sublime. The music is stunning. The action moved between three time frames so easily and clearly. Benedict Cumberbatch utterly lives up to his reputation as one of the most talented actors on the planet.
All in all, I found this incredibly watchable. Utterly heartbreaking and gut wrenching at times, yet funny and warm.
If this doesn't win a mass of accolades, then there is something seriously wrong with the global awards system.
