This movie was one I initially avoided seeing after I had seen the trailer and then had read the synopsis and reviews and I thought it would be dull and depressing. Only after a friend's strong recommendation did I go see it. My preconceptions were totally off base. The acting as many have mentioned was extraordinary esp by Eddie Redmayne. It's unbelievable how he executes Hawking's expressions with only the eyes and eyebrows! Hawking's humour and quick wit keeps us in admiration of the man for his keen mind and resilient personality and prevents the movie from becoming melodramatic. Go see it while it's still playing!
