I wanted to watch The Theory of Everything when it came out in theaters, but I never had the opportunity. More recently, I really wanted to watch it after learning that the part of Stephen Hawking was played by Eddie Redmayne - who became known to me through the Fantastic Beast series.

In any case, the film excelled both visually and aurally. I also enjoyed the chemistry between the lead roles: Stephen Hawking played by Eddie Redmayne and Jane Hawking played by Felicity Jones.
For the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would recommend it as to fans of drama films.

Netflix determined the movie for me as a 80% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.

I was writing up my notes for Solo: A Star Wars Story today and made a brief comparison to Rogue One. Subsequently, I went to my post for Rogue One, saw a picture of Jyn Erson (Felicity Jones), and Googled her name. That's when I learned that she was the same actress who played Jane Hawking in The Theory of Everything.
