Outstanding

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2015)

This is the best movie I have seen in years. Absolutely outstanding performance by Eddie Raymayne who received a well deserved Oscar for his work. I didn't know s lot about Stephan Hawkings personal story but this was a very moving and yet funny at times story telling of his romance with his wife, who has told this story. Amazing what they both went through over the years and were able to bring up children throughout it all. Jane Hawking must have been extremely strong to have dealt with her husbands illness a lesser woman could not have coped. Felicity Jones' performance was amazing and both characters reduced me to tears several times. Eddie Raymayne brought emotion to a character with no voice now that is talent. I shall be watching this film again and again and I will keep the tissues to hand as I wasn't expecting it to have been such an emotional ride the first time.
