Rent, don't buy

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2019)

This is an excellent movie I never have to see again.
This film is based on a book written by Jane Hawking and it focuses on Stephen Hawking as a man rather than Stephen Hawking as a scientist. The people involved in this film did an incredible job, and you can tell Eddie Redmayne put a lot of work into the physical aspects of his role. But like many award winning films I watch, I find I never have a desire to give it a second viewing. There wasn't a scene I wanted to revisit or something I thought I would understand better if I watched it again. It's a well crafted film, and I think I got all I could from watching it once. So I would recommend watching it, but I would opt to stream it or rent it somewhere.
