Rating: 7/10 (18 March 2018)

'The Theory Of Everything (2014) is a rather sweet film, the focus never on anything other than the humour, resilience and underlying love of both the expertly portrayed protagonist and his strongest relationship. This makes the watch an uplifting and generally pleasant one, even though the piece does dip into the darker moments of Hawking's degenerative disease. It's a brilliantly made flick, though the cinematography is consistently dream-like in a slightly distracting way, and it resonates deeply without pushing itself too forcefully upon its audience, finding its footing early on and never making a misstep in telling the remarkable life-story of a remarkable man and the remarkable woman who helped him through it all. 7/10
