not factually correct enough for my liking

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2015)

Because I expect a film based on a true story,( especially one where the main characters are still alive) to be factually accurate, I was somewhat disappointed with this film.
Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones are superb. Eddie Redmayne could actually be Stephen Hawking and when Felicity Jones playing Hawking's wife hears from her husband about a forthcoming trip, the acting in her face is masterly. The location scenes are excellent and the attention to details, hairstyles, clothes etc is perfect.
But it was a rather unbalanced account and makes no mention of Stephen Hawking's "role" in the end of his marriage, which seems a little unfair to the story.
