REVIEW
It's a thought-provoking theme in a beautifully filmed drama with amazing main characters portrayed by Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander. They are the heart and soul of this film. I don't think the film is perfect but cinematography and acting are absolutely great. Same with art and costume design! It's movie good? Yes. Is it exceptional? No. The characters could develop more and the pace could be better. Still, definitelly worth watching! 4/5
