Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
For a person who is keenly aware of the downside of fame - he worries that he is known as much for his illness as he is for his scientific discoveries - the storytelling falls short.

fresh:
He talks a lot about his two wives. This makes Hawking unusually revealing, because his life has almost always been framed in terms of his mental brilliance.

fresh:
As billed, an intimate look at a genius, but the science gets a major haircut here.

The lasting takeaway from the film is how much there is to this man.

fresh:
The focus is on Hawking's scientific achievements and celebrity status at the expense of much emotional content, but it's hardly fair to expect a warts-and-all portrait
