Title is Deceptive

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2016)

This movie is half a film. It goes into the relationships and simple picture of Dr. Hawking's amazing life. It does not go into the inspiration behind how bright the man was.
Hawkings life is in many ways a miracle. That is pictured in this script. When I got done watching it, the film reminded me of many Hollywood dramas. It drew a picture of how Dr. Hawking related to the people in his life. It left out what inspired him. That makes the film sadly lacking.
The cast does a fine job of acting and makes it a decent drama but I feel that somehow, the personal relationships spelled out in this film are like the relationships done in 1950's movies. They are deep emotionally but surrounded by real life card board. I would call for a remake that actually tells the story of what inspired the theory of everything. That is not present in this film.
