The Theory of Everything

Before his confinement to a wheelchair from ALS, Steven Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) was first a student turned professor in theoretical physics at Cambridge University. While in school he would meet his wife to be, Jane (Felicity Jones). This is their story, abbreviated, but up to date. hawking Based on the book by Jane Hawking and shining a beacon of attention on one of our greatest thinkers, Director James Marsh composes a love story in the midst of physics equations which in turn makes for an excellent springboard for Redmayne and Jones to express their talents as actors, impressive. And, mildly delving into Hawking’s theories on time and black holes without drowning the viewer, the film stands out as one of this year’s notable biopics worth your while in at least matinee form, maybe more. The Theory of Everything is rated PG-13.
