I actually can't think of anything negative to say about The Imitation Game. A wonderful story that many people (including myself) won't have known in its entirety is brought to life in a fantastic picture.
Benedict Cumberbatch just kills it. His performance is fantastic and manipulates your emotions so effortlessly at different points in the film. Keira Knightley turns in the performance of her career. Both of them fully deserve their Oscar nods for these performances. As does the film itself for Best Picture. Their on screen chemistry is evident as soon as they appear in their first scene together. The storytelling power of these performances, the thought provoking subject matter and excellent direction make it one of the films of the year.
