Good enough

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2015)

The movie describes the life of Dr Steven Hawkin and his wife. One thing is for sure for the movie, the performances are excellent. Eddie Raymayn is so good pertaining the doctor, without overdoing it. The movie doesn't focus on his work, but rather his relationship with his wife and his family, in a human and realistic aspect. It is tempting to approach the subject as a very sensitive one, tiptoeing around the illness and the human nature, present everyone as superhuman rather than man with their own flaws. The meddling of science with the ordinary life is being presented with the beautiful scenes of family life or private moments, or simply showing the waves crashing. That gives an elegant touch to the heavy scientific field and to the human drama. All in all, a great movie.
