| Excellent, but not Cliff Notes on Quantum Mechanics
I've read scientists are turned off by this film for its omissions, simplifications, falsities, and other failures to explain Prof. Hawking's theories. I can understand that, being a law specialist who can't watch law dramas. But if you're not a cosmologist or a physicist you should not be discouraged by the film's failure to give you enough detail for a two credit course. It's a good drama of people, a bit schmaltzy as befits the facts, and in that regard I understand it's pretty accurate, and is definitely well acted and directed. Also a nice glimpse of what Oxbridge life was like in the 1950s. As they say, the male lead is Oscar bait.

Trivia

It took screenwriter Anthony McCarten ten years to bring this story to the screen.

Quotes

Stephen Hawking: Exterminate. Exterminate.

Goofs

When Stephen tells Jane he's going to Bourdeaux, his mouth clearly says "Bayreuth." This makes more sense because Jane's reply when he mentions Bourdeaux is "Wagner" which has no connection with Bourdeaux. Bayreuth was Wagner's home in Germany.
