Tolkien explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the "fellowship" apart. All of these experiences would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.Written by

I have read quite a bit about Tolkien and his life. Whilst this film was not formally endorsed by the Tolkien family, I felt that it was great tribute to Tolkien and his wife Edith. The film I felt showed how WW1 had made a considerable impression on Tolkien and some of the battle scenes that were later written into The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit.
