THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING: A Romanticized, Yet Brilliantly Acted Biopic

The Theory of Everything is the story of Stephen Hawking, reflecting his life from his early 20’s until decades later after he had become a world icon.

It is still a worthy film, though, and this is mostly due to Eddie Redmayne’s fantastic performance.

Interstellar
INTERSTELLAR: A Big, Bold, Superbly Entertaining Sci-Fi
