I wasn't sure this would be a film I'd engage with, but having watched it, I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed it. I know it's received criticism for being historically inaccurate, I would remind those naysayers that it is a film, not a piece of real life. It is a dazzling looking film, it looks absolutely sensational, the visuals are beautiful, if ever an Oscar should have been won for design, costumes etc, this is it. Alicia Vikander is of course phenomenal, and worthy of her Oscar, but I have to say Eddie Redmayne is the catalyst that made the film for me, as he so often does, a truly outstanding actor, who's career rightly so is taking off. It's quite a sombre film, not one I'd particularly revisit anytime soon, but I'm certainly glad I've seen it, and I certainly would recommend it.
