HALF A STORY - In commenting on the film Benedict Cumberbatch has said.....

Rating: 4/10 (9 October 2014)

In commenting on the film Benedict Cumberbatch has said there was no need to depict Turing's homosexuality as it was "so obvious." I couldn't disagree more. It is one of the fundamental reasons why this man died before he was able to give so much more to society and find happiness for himself (perhaps in reverse order.) He helped end the war and the state, in return, chemically castrated him and cast him in to a pit. The film does NOT depict this on any acceptable level and I cannot be the only person to take this view, surely? It gets 4/10 for less than half a story. What is there is well acted. What isn't is a wholly different and more compelling film. Please somebody (not Hollywood) make it......
