One of the films I've been wanting to see since I first heard about it was the Stephen Hawking biopic 'The Theory of Everything' starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones. It's based on Jane Hawking's book 'Travelling to Infinity, My Life with Stephen' and charts their first meeting at a party in 1963, their life together, Hawking's deteriorating health as a result of his illness, and their subsequent separation in 1990.
It's unsurprising, at least in my opinion, that it it has been nominated for Oscars as Best Picture, Best Actor for Redmayne, Best Actress for Jones, Best Adapted Screenplay for McCarten, and Best Original Score for Jóhann Jóhannsson. It was also nominated for ten BAFTAs. It has already won Golden Globe awards for Motion Picture Drama, for Eddie Redmayne as Best Actor and for Jóhann Jóhannsson with Best Original Score.
I would highly recommend the film.
