Far exceeded my expectations

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2015)

The Imitation Game was everything I wanted it to be and so much more. It was compelling, emotional and at times very funny - all while keeping me enthralled in the plot and life of Alan Turing. It kept me captivated with great performances by the entire cast and beautiful imagery of 1940's Britain. I have not so much thoroughly enjoyed a historical film like this since The King's Speech back in 2010. Try as I might I could barely find anything wrong with this film and I think it did justice in portraying the short life of an incredible mathematician. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good British biopic that offers not only an amazing story but a glimpse into humanity as well.
