Everyone I know loved this biopic about Stephen Hawking, physicist and survivor of ALS. It’s too deferential for my taste but is really about his personal life both with his first wife and with himself. It is, after all, based on her book. Nicely acted by the principals, with Eddie Redmayne (Hawking, Oscar) doing a very good job. I don’t quite get why he got the Oscar (I think people really dislike Michael Keaton), although the features provide some nice insight on how he framed the character.
