Utilising practically every award baiting trope (biopic of a disabled genius) The Theory Of Everything shouldn't work but it's all done so solidly that it's difficult not to be swept along. It's the performances that really stand out. Redmayne just disappears into Stephen but it's Felicity Jones as Jane that deserves more credit. Jones conveys so much without words (which is odd when you consider it's Stephen who loses the ability to speak), watching Stephen playing croquet and the realisation shown in her face is just the first of many great moments.
