Review: The Theory of Everything


The breath-taking performance of Eddie as Stephen Hawking made the film a must-watch. He truly deserved the Oscar for the Best Actor. It is difficult to portray such a man with such a terrible disease yet he nailed it perfectly with increasing the intensity of Motor Neuron Disease.

This is one of the best heart touching love story. The more and more Jane (Felicity) helps Stephen, the care she takes makes me awe. It is her acting which was top notch. If this story is as real as the real-life then I call it a pure love from Stephen’s wife.

The Theory of Everything is a film that everyone can enjoy and turns into a real audience movie. It is two hours of multi emotions which we go through.  

The film desperately wants to be a crowd-pleaser with an uplifting message of inspiration. The score of the film was appreciable, also don’t forget the direction. The Director easily manages to capture the bittersweet relation between couples. No complaint in the script or the pace. Everything is just fine in this movie.


Who should watch this film?

  • The name Stephen is attached to this film, but don’t expect much science in this. You will be disappointed. This film covers the love life of him and his wife and it is must-watch inspirational love film. A beautiful story with a roller coaster of emotions.
