    Your glasses are always dirty.

    One might think that this movie would be about esoteric theories that are beyond the capacity for most people.

    You would be so wrong!

    This was probably the best love story I have ever seen. I was on the edge of my seat watching Jane Hawking (Felicity Jones) as she did more and more amazing acts of love for Stephan Hawking (Eddie Redmayne). I cannot imagine anyone that fits the definition of love more than she did.

    Redmayne was brilliant as Hawking.

    Anthony McCarten took Jane Hawing's book and wrote a screenplay that was a thrill to watch.
