A very precise capture of ALS reality

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2015)

The movie lacks a little historical accuracy and shows Hawking's scientific accomplishes in a very romantic way. However, it's precision on the family drama of fighting ALS is remarkable. As a witness to the devastation that condition can cause in people's lives, the chronology of the symptoms, the eye and face muscles expression, it's all there. it's astonishing how the lead character catches the essence of the illness and represents it as it truly is. The plot also lacks a little passion and some scenes are to forced away, but it's a good movie, a good representation of Hawking's struggle and a surprisingly great description of the ALS reality.
