Benedict Cumberbatch is utterly amazing in this film about Alan Turing. The story is riveting, the pace is perfect, everything is as it should be. Alan Turing's accomplishments and his tragic personal story are important and timely. I believe everyone should see this film because they will learn much about our history, politically and socially. The moral here is that profound genius is often disguised as difference. But we should not be afraid of this--these people are sometimes the only ones capable of creating vast and imperative change. We should all be allowed to live honestly in this world.
