The Theory of Everything (2014)
IMDb plot summary: The relationship between the famous physicist Stephen Hawking and his wife.
Directed by James Marsh. Starring Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones, David Thewlis, and Charlie Cox.
This is a charming little film with a really excellent performance from Eddie Redmayne. It's a good thing it's focused more on the relationship than the science, because when it does tackle the science, it doesn't do it particularly well. But the story of their relationship is really beautifully handled, and while it isn't a particularly groundbreaking story, it's done well.
3.5 stars.
