The Theory of Everything is a biopic about Stephen Hawking(Eddie Redmayne) & the love story between him & his wife, Jane Hawking(Felicity Jones). Stephen Hawking is diagnosed with a life threatening disease. The film chronicles the relationship between Stephen & Jane Hawking over the years. It also shows us how Hawking made significant breakthroughs in science, despite his physical deterioration due to the disease.
The Theory of Everything is an outstanding film. I loved the fact that Hawking never gave up in spite of all the difficulties he faced in his life. Jane's resolve to stay with Stephen despite his illness, moved me. The relationship between Stephen & Jane Hawking is one of the highlights of the film. Their relationship exudes positiveness, strength & undying love & dedication to each other. The main highlight of the movie are the performances. Eddie Redmayne has given the best performance of his career as Stephen Hawking. Redmayne completely embodies the character. The way Redmayne has portrayed Hawking's physical & speech deterioration is jaw-dropping & flawless. No wonder he's the front-runner to win the Oscar for Best Actor & won the Golden Globe for Best Actor. Redmayne truly deserves all the praise & awards that come his way. Felicity Jones is spectacular as Jane Hawking. Jones has also given her career's best performance. Harry Lloyd is great as Brian. David Thewlis is brilliant as Dennis Sciama. Charlie Cox is incredible as Jonathan Hellyer Jones. The supporting characters are impressive too. The music by Johann Johannsson is captivating. If I had to pick one flaw in the film, I'd say that the second half is a tad bit slow. Still, this movie deserves all the Academy Award nominations it has received. A must watch.
