Another brilliant performance
Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the greatest actors of our time. He becomes every person that he portrays. His anxiety and fear is palpable through the film. The reflection of the darkness and harshness of the time is presented also. He was a grand, loving soul that suffered for his entire life with visions and great losses. This film presents this only as Benedict really can, with submersion and true zest. What a brilliant, tortured soul. There is a sublime beauty in the film that stands out in the dark and harrowing moments, that is lovely yet haunting. I had known so little of him and his life. This was a gift. - lorehernandezpinto - 31 July 2022
Beautiful movie in every aspect
Incredible cinematography, visuals and score combined with great acting by Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy. This is a wonderful movie that can really grasp your feelings when it comes to the values of life, and also cats.
