A brief history of Hawking, the hero.

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2014)

We all know about Stephen Hawking, the scientist but this movie is about Hawking the hero, the fighter. Perhaps the only man to comprehend the endlessness of the universe and the limitlessness of Love, reminiscent of John Nash's famous quote (fictional) from the movie, 'A Beautiful Mind' : "...it is only in the wayward equations of Love that any true logic can ever be found". Profound.
Truly touching performance by Eddie Redmayne; every twitch of the eyebrow, every drool of spittle is simply perfect. Thankfully, the story line is not bogged down by esoteric Quantum Physics theories and portrays the man over his achievements.
A great contender for the year's Golden Globes and Oscar.
