This is one of those movies that can wake you up and make you wonder what you've achieved with your life so far.
It's one of the best performances of the year, the sort of performance that is the actors were American and got the right publicity would have most likely landed them an Oscar.
Given the subject I was expecting cringe worthy moments in the film, or at least overly sentimental, but Cumberbatchs' performance as a young Hawking just finding out what his symptoms mean is really something else.
This isn't a movie for somebody that is looking for a comedy but I think that you should watch it if you are interested in either the life of Stephen Hawking or just to see a film that is different than the mainstream.
It's definitely worth watching!
