Really good movie, not my cup of tea.

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2015)

I will first say that I did not find The Theory of Everything very engaging and that this could very well at it's core be because of my lack of experience in the field of romance.
Nonetheless The Theory of Everything is a well written and very well directed film that also features terrific acting from the two leads.
Eddie Redmayne really managed to portray both the physical limitations of his character and the emotions buried inside of him. And Felicity Jones portrayed a great sensitivity and the emotional toll her character had to endure.
The Theory of Everything was a pleasant surprise because it manages to be a strong dramatic biopic without falling into the pitfalls of the genre.
