A truly excellent film

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2015)

Very rarely do I see a film I feel is genuinely worthy of being called excellent, in 2014 we had the release of both Theory of Everything and the Imitation game.
Watching the theory of everything reminded me what true cinema is about. Striping away the CGI and the mess that goes along with most modern cinema.
It's not action packed or anything like that. It's a real film. I love marvel and those kind of films but this and imitation game are what acting is all about.
Eddie Redmayne gives a truly phenomenal performance as Hawking, one of the best performances I've ever seen. Felicity Jones gives an equally powerful performance as Jane.
This may sound contrived, as this film is so hyped but sometimes the hype is real. This film really is as good as the reviews say.
It's not big or flashy, it's clever, funny, moving and above all celebrates a great man.
