What a wonderful accomplishment of a film by James Marsh (Man on Wire)
who brings such depth and beauty to the life/love story of Stephen and
Jane Hawking. The film is adapted from her novel on their life and
brings forth much of the love and tenacity necessary to care for and
love someone going through great physical struggles over time. Eddie
Redmayne and Felicity Jones give fantastic and intimate portrayals of
Stephen and Jane during their courtship and lives together. My vote for
best film at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. In Q&A
after film James Marsh told a great story about Stephen Hawking's
reaction to the film where he gave the response that it was in "largely
genuine"... and Eddie Redmayne said that Stephen Hawking after viewing
the film allowed them to use his actual "voice" instead of their
approximation for the film that they had produced. The most touching
was that Hawking had tears to be wiped away after viewing which will
give to you a sense of how genuine this film is.
