The Theory of Everything (2014)
The Theory of Everything is an acclaimed biographical drama released in 2014 and directed by James Marsh (Man on Wire), adapted by Anthony McCarten from Jane Hawking's memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen. Eddie Redmayne plays Stephen Hawking from his early days as a brilliant, physically able Cambridge PhD student through his diagnosis with motor neurone disease and his extraordinary scientific career, while Felicity Jones plays Jane, the woman who married him and sustained him through decades of deteriorating health. Redmayne's physical transformation — charting Hawking's progressive loss of motor function across 25 years — is one of the most demanding and accomplished performances in recent British cinema, earning him the Academy Award for Best Actor. The film received five Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, and Jones received a nomination for Best Actress. A deeply moving, beautifully crafted film.
Highlights
- Eddie Redmayne's performance — One of the great physical performances in modern cinema; Redmayne charts Hawking's deterioration with extraordinary precision and humanity, never reducing the man to his disability and finding the wit, warmth and intellectual fire that defined him throughout.
- Felicity Jones as Jane Hawking — An Oscar-nominated performance of quiet, sustained power; Jones makes Jane's sacrifice, resilience and eventual emotional exhaustion completely real, and the film is as much her story as Stephen's.
- James Marsh's direction — The director of Man on Wire brings a documentary-maker's eye for authentic detail; the Cambridge and Oxford locations are beautifully used and the film has a visual warmth that gives the love story real tenderness.
- Anthony McCarten's screenplay — The script balances the scientific, romantic and biographical dimensions of the story with real skill; the decision to tell the story primarily from Jane's perspective gives the film an emotional honesty that a more conventional Hawking biopic might have lacked.
- Jóhann Jóhannsson's score — One of the great film scores of the decade; Jóhannsson's music — which earned him an Academy Award nomination — gives the film its emotional register and the recurring themes are among the most beautiful in recent British cinema.
