The general review of the movie.

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2019)

This is a fairly accurate representation of the incredible life of one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived. There were some dramatizations added to the movie, but these are relatively mild diversions from the true story. Benedict Cumberbatch does do a very good job of realistically portraying Turing. Parents should know that some portions may be intense for young kids as Turing died very tragically; he committed suicide at the age of 41, and this is mentioned at the end of the film. Though the movie does feature some sad portions to it (particularly in a touching scene at the end of the movie where Turing breaks down because of how he has been treated for his "crime"), there is also some humor throughout the movie. The main focus of the film is on Turing's code-breaking efforts during World War II (with some mention of his other contributions to mathematics and computing), and so there is some violence shown related to World War II. This is a very good movie that brings the work of a great mathematician to light.
