It follows Hawking's days at Cambridge University in the 1960's as he is diagnosed with motor neuron disease while he's falling in love with his future wife and coming up with some of his own soon-to-be revolutionary theories on time & space. Aided by some fantastic supporting performances, particularly Felicity Jones, the film is lifted higher than it's actual writing which doesn't quite explore everything about the man it could have. Fortunately it's acting, precise direction & photography and moving score from Jóhann Jóhannsson make it feel well worth the time invested in it.
