Well deserved Oscar

Rating: 6/10 (21 March 2016)

The Theory of Everything, is an interesting film with some truly brilliant acting especially on the part of Eddie Redmane who deserved his Oscar for an amazing transformation, at times you think it is the real Stephn Hawking. As it was with Jamie Foxx' portrayal of Ray Charles this is acting at it's very best.
Felicity Jones was also brilliant as Jane Hawking and all the supporting cast were all very believable.
The film itself concentrates on the relationship between Hawking and his wife and touches on the arrival of the Nurse Elaine Maso who in real life he eventually married, although the controversy surrounding her is not covered in this film. A lot of the film touches on the relationship between Jane and organist Jonathan Hellyer Jones although there is some ambiguity over what actually happens. The conflict between Jane's religious views and Stephens views are also touched on. It is a shame more was not made of Mr Hawkins brilliance as a Scientist but then that might be hard to put over in a movie where human relationships are easier to portray. Over all though this is a good film and worth a watch if only to witness the amazing acting of Mr Redmane.
