a slow ponderous look at the relational side of (the) hawking(s). not what i'd expected, watching this show a matter of weeks after cumberbatch's hawking (2004 tv), which better summed up his science/illness. this movie was rather poorly named, really, as it neither addresses theory nor everything, but that's no fault of the convincing cast, especially redmayne. read

redmayne has a fine performance. make-up is pretty good. score is pretty good. writing is kinda bad. i couldn't care less about any of the characters, aside from hawking, which is more due to the performance than the writing. awful overexposed lighting in a lot of scenes. would've liked if the dynamics in hawking's family and friendships were explored a lot more in terms of how his illness affected their connectivity. surely there were some dramatic elements to be found there? wouldn't recommend this one. i can't see someone watching this and not feeling shortchanged in the experience.... read
