      The film is based on the graphic novel ''Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout'' by Lauren Redniss. This is director Marjane Satrapi's first film based on a graphic novel that she didn't write. Two of her films, "Persepolis" and "Chicken with Plums," are based on graphic novels written solely by Satrapi.

      [last lines]

      Pierre Curie: You changed the world.

      Marie Curie: In the right way?

      Pierre Curie: I'd rather be someone that hopes the world full of light than fears for the darkness out there, wouldn't you?

      Marie Curie: But I...

      Pierre Curie: You threw a stone in the water. The ripples, you can't control. There are things to be scared of, but there's so much to celebrate.

      Marie Curie: I hope you're right. I hope you're right.

      [they kiss]

    The wikipedia page about Dr. Curie is way more exciting
    This movie is a pale and shallow effort to represent an extraordinary person with a remarkable life. Marie Curie is an absolute icon one of the most important scientists that ever existed and for sure the most important female scientist. Madamme Curie had a life full of challenges and she fought bravely to overcome barriers in the name of science. Her passion, her brilliance and her character changed the world in more than one way. She opened the way for women in science. She was the first female professor in the University of Paris. She was a poor immigrant, who had to work her way to the top. She was open about love, she was brave and humble and honest. She donated most of her Nobel money. Did we get that in the movie? Maybe 1% of it. The vision of the director about one of the greatest minds of all time is "Sheldon Cooper in a dress". There was some effort to suggest how her discoveries changed the world, but it did not succeed to present the scope and the greatest importance of her work.

    This is not a bad movie, actually it is perfectly watchable. Actors are great and the love story between Marie and Pier is adorable. But given the fact that they had such an amazing life, I think the movie is a missed chance.

    Still better love story than Twilight though
