Favourite Film Of The Year

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2015)

The Theory Of Everything was an absolute masterclass. Bringing to the screen the life, work and love of one of our greatest living minds with such a degree of humility and subtlety.
All this 'Oscar-bait' chat is utter drivel. Granted its a Stephen Hawking biopic being released around Oscar time, but the film still has to be produced, directed, acted and scored to an Oscar-worthy standard to be considered. Thankfully, 'The Theory Of Everything' is.
Eddie Redmayne was mind-blowing, and I can only hope he gets the Oscar for it. For me, its the best lead acting performance for a number of years. Felicity Jones was also brilliant, and as a couple, they lit up the screen.
The Theory Of Everything showed us the microcosm of the Hawkings' life and allowed us to look at ourselves with that same hope, humour and hunger for life that is captured by Eddie on screen.
