Another genius on the screen

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2015)

This year is in fashion to show the hard story of the modern genius. After The imitation game, telling about the story of Alan Turing and his machine, I have watched "The theory of everything" and the comparison is absolutely inevitable. I start saying that I found both of the movies a bit overrated. I have already talked about the first one in the related review, so I'll talk only about the second. The theory of everything is an enjoyable film, with a very good cast. I found it more truthful than The imitation game, less ad hoc constructed: the acting is less superficial, the dialog are more natural. I liked very much the two main characters, inevitably the male one most. Some scenes are full of emotion but not many as I expect by a drama like this. It could be better but remains a good job.
