The Theory of Everything

I thought it was a solid film, even if it did feel too "clean" in how these characters were depicted, as I can't imagine having to live through Stephen's debilitating medical condition as being all sweetness and light. There had to be plenty of dark days, but the script is fairly upbeat in handling how Stephen and Jane met in college, and then his world-shattering diagnosis, and the ups and downs of their marriage in spite of his condition, which provided the framework where he would produce his most well-known contribution to physics.

I'm not a big fan of Eddie Redmayne, but he did a fine job in the role as Stephen, uncannily channeling all the mannerisms and infectious smile through his face, quite an acting challenge. Felicity Jones as Jane was a luminous revelation, more than up to the task of portraying Jane along side Redmayne's Stephen.

I give it 3 stars or a grade of B.
