a lovely TV movie! oh...wait.....

Rating: 5/10 (23 January 2015)

it is not a TV movie, isn't?
No, it is supposed to be Oscars material. The tale of the special person that can have an impact to the world, presented in a shallow and full of clichés way. And of course the real story was bent enough to give us the Triumph of the man against all odds and...and well...we have seen all this a bazillion times before and in better TV movies than this one.
The cast is good with the material they have but nothing extraordinary. Even Cumberbatch gives another "Sherlockian" performance. Truth to be told, he did well with the material he had to work with.
A pleasant two hours of a movie you will forget very soon. Except if the movies you have seen so far in your life are less than 50. Including TV movies :)
