A brilliant mind. A brilliant wife

Rating: 5/10 (1 November 2015)

I like everyone else got swept along with the buzz for this film upon its release and while I don't think it was worth all the hype it still remains a good film.
The two central performances re fantastic and we see the decline in Hawking's condition and the couples marriage from both sides in a way that means we never take sides.
There are some slow moments though and that ultimately is what reduces my rating for this film. I wasn't expecting big bangs or anything, but some of the scenes felt like they were recapping what we as an audience could put together in our own heads.
A warning also for those of you of a squeamish disposition, in some cases we do see what goes on in a operation and it could be quite upsetting for some.
Overall though a good film that tracks what Jane Hawking had written in her earlier book.
