The Theory of Everything (2014)

I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't hate this like I expected to (Eddie Redmayne freaks me right out), but that doesn't mean I really liked it. The story felt rather one-note: brilliant guy gets sick & stays brilliant and sick, but with a long suffering wife at his side. Until they split up. Just like normal, non-brilliant/non-sick people sometimes do.

This is more Jane Hawking’s story than Stephen’s, and that suited me just fine.
