Fantastic Performances and Interesting Story, Not a Lot to Dislike

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2016)

The Theory of Everything is the story of Stephen Hawking, the famous physicist. I love biographies myself, and this movie was no exception.
The plot of this movie is pretty well done. It feels long, but it's never boring. I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that some of the information was inaccurate, but it's presented in such a way where it feels like it probably is real.
The characters are the driving force of this movie, and they are pretty great. They aren't all idiots, and they make the movie feel more realistic. Again, they're presented in such a way where despite being inaccurate feel like they are still real. They end up being pretty likable too, which is a nice plus. The actors all help sell their characters really well, especially Eddie Redmayne. His role was much more physical, and he pulls it off perfectly. The Oscar he won was definitely very well-earned.
Overall The Theory of Everything was great. It's realistic and well- paced, and there isn't a whole lot that I can say against it (other than inaccuracies in information, which don't really bother me at all). In the end I'd certainly recommend this movie to pretty much anyone.
