Good, but with one big problem

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2015)

I liked the movie, and I very much liked the two lead performances. But I have one big problem with the movie. Spoiler alert...
In the history of the world, there has never been a woman who so much did not deserve to be dumped as Jane. She loved Stephen dearly. She devoted her life to, and made huge sacrifices for, Stephen. She was beautiful too. I'm not satisfied with: Jane got in the tent with Jonathan, Stephen was very attracted to Elaine, and the movie a true story. When a man in his condition dumps a woman like her, that part of the story needs a lot more fleshing out. The movie let Hawking off easy because he is such a remarkable man. This would never fly in a purely fictional movie about a more ordinary person.
