The Theory Of Everything
Once a healthy, active young man, Hawking receives an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age just as he meets and falls in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones). With Jane fighting tirelessly by his side, Stephen embarks on his most ambitious scientific work, studying the very thing he now has precious little of – time. Together, they defy impossible odds achieving more than anyone could ever have dreamed.
Critic Reviews:
- " There's a mischievous quality to Redmayne that seems a good match with the wit Hawking has always managed to convey with a raised eyebrow and a mechanically-voiced quip. " – Jim Slotek
- " A standard biopic – there's loads of shots of Hawking furiously scribbling mathematical symbols on a chalkboard for instance – but Jones and Redmayne give this study of a scientific mind something special – heart. " – Richard Crouse
- " It is the performance of Felicity Jones that truly illuminates the screen. " – Richard Propes
