    • Quotes

      [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]

    It's not a movie nor a docudrama so... what is it then?
    Our main problem upon watching this movie (?), is that despite a great effort from the cast it never found its way nor decides what it wants to be. Is it a documentary? No, it is not, those flashes moving way forward in the future made no sense, especially in the middle of the drama. Marie Curie's life was super exciting, not only because she was a woman back then doing what she did but her achievements alone, despite her sex, entitles her to a great movie that is yet to be filmed. The ending was one of this WTF moments that I couldn't pass, me and my boyfriend were silent for a while with: is that really how it ends?

    Well, it seems so.
