The Theory of Everything, referring to Hawking's dream of finding an equation to explain all existence, is riveting science, emotional provocation and one-of-a-kind love story all rolled into one triumphant film.
The Theory of Everything is a heart-wrenching portrayal of the romantic journey of Stephen and Jane Hawking, as well as the struggles brought on by Stephen's motor neurone disease and its impact on their family. The film delves into the relationship between Stephen and Jane, as well as the bonds that develop between Jane and Jonathan Jones, a church choir leader, and Stephen and Elaine Mason, a nurse who helps Stephen communicate again. Eddie Redmayne delivers a phenomenal performance as Professor Stephen Hawking, earning him an Academy Award for Best Actor. His portrayal of Hawking's physical deterioration is staggering and moving. Felicity Jones also shines as Jane, giving a powerful and nuanced performance as she navigates her conflicting emotions and the strain of caring for Stephen and their three children. The pacing of the film is excellent, allowing the story to unfold naturally, and the film's emotional punch is genuine and heavy. The film's score, cinematography, and direction all contribute to the film's powerful and captivating experience.

La teoría del todo es un retrato desgarrador del viaje romántico de Stephen y Jane Hawking, así como de las luchas provocadas por la enfermedad de la neurona motora de Stephen y su impacto en su familia. La película profundiza en la relación entre Stephen y Jane, así como en los lazos que se desarrollan entre Jane y Jonathan Jones, un líder del coro de la iglesia, y Stephen y Elaine Mason, una enfermera que ayuda a Stephen a comunicarse nuevamente. Eddie Redmayne ofrece una actuación fenomenal como el profesor Stephen Hawking, lo que le valió un Premio de la Academia al Mejor Actor. Su interpretación del deterioro físico de Hawking es asombrosa y conmovedora. Felicity Jones también brilla como Jane, brindando una actuación poderosa y matizada mientras navega por sus emociones conflictivas y la tensión de cuidar a Stephen y sus tres hijos. El ritmo de la película es excelente, lo que permite que la historia se desarrolle de forma natural, y el impacto emocional de la película es genuino y pesado. La banda sonora, la cinematografía y la dirección de la película contribuyen a la experiencia poderosa y cautivadora de la película.
At the start I thought I will only see an annoying film with cosmology formulas ecc... But after watching it I can say that the film was fantastic, it wasn't annoying, it had good jokes, this film shows in 2 hours big part of Stephen's life. In the past I watched a lot of films, but this is one of them that I liked.
Jones and Redmayne are both superb as a devoted but imperfect pair of headstrong people trying, and sometimes failing, to treat each other with care and respect.
The movie's pretty light on matters of science. It works best as a study of human vulnerability and love's way with us all, and as such, a handsomely mounted, slightly hollow picture by the end becomes a very affecting one.
Rather than go for big ideas, the movie cozies up to small wonders. Instead of an ah-ha moment, we get a sigh of familiarity. Still, in this biopic about Hawking, there’s one explosion that blows your mind: Eddie Redmayne’s performance. Redmayne as Hawking, if the stars align, should be an Oscar lock.
Director James Marsh (already an Oscar winner for the documentary "Man on Wire") and screenwriter Anthony McCarten (adapting Jane Hawking's memoir) opt for the safe, pretty, and reassuring English period-piece choices the whole way through, as if deliberately underselling the fact that this is a story about two remarkable people facing extraordinary circumstances.
one man i respect is stephen hawking i loved this movie and i allways respected stephen hawking and to see his strugglemade me respect even more the actor who played him did justice to one of the best minds in the world today
Eddie Redmayne and Charlie Cox both bring incredible performances, and are without doubt the shining light in a film that seems unable to decide what it wants to be: a focus on Stephen Hawking, his work or his relationship, or all of them. It begins to feel drawn out and sadly falls off. I wish to know more about Hawking's work and how it impacted the world of physics, but sadly you will not find that here.
Me sentí siempre ajeno en uno de los personajes que admiro mucho. Me interesó su historia, no me atrapó la forma en que fue contada. Aun así es una película bien hecha. Pero quizá no fue hecha para mí.
A paint-by-numbers biopic with a lead performane from Eddie Redmayne which won an Oscar.. now to my astonishment having seen the film. He contorts his face and body. He speaks unintelligibly. Oh yeah, he wears his glasses lopsided before he falls ill. That's it. His wife miraculously remains looking 22ish throughout the film.
Not recommended.
Not been this bored by a movie since watching the Expendables and vowing never to watch one of the sequels. Eddie Redmayne is the most wooden actor I have ever seen, from the Pillars of the Earth to Les Miserables his habit of staring off into the near distance, blatantly reading autocue and lack of emotion means that his playing of Stephen Hawking must not receive the Oscar. Why, because he isn't acting!!!! Also, the blatant use of Americanisms to sell it to the US. In the UK it is Leg or Breast, not light meat or dark meat. Also it is Motor Neurone Disease in the UK and ALS in the US, until Ice Bucket no-one here would have referred to Lou Gehrigs Disease and certainly not in 1963.
