Viewed as a work of fiction

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2015)

This is thoroughly enjoyable. As an aside, I wonder if I can sort out the truths: Here they are: Turing was gay. And a mathematical, scientific genius.
And he may not have killed himself.
The untruths are legion: Joan Clark was plain and practical and would never have uttered the anachronistic bilge she spews here.
Enigma was invented years before in Poland.
Turing didn't have control over the Nazi plans of bombing sea lanes, etc. In fact he had no access to maps of such detail. Ever.
And much, much more, far too long to list here.
But in watching the brilliant Cumberbatch and his numerous sidekicks there is enormous admiration for great acting, excellent direction, good sets, and brilliant atmospheric cinematography. Score is well done too.
So 8 out of 10 for fact suspension and a ripping good yarn.
