  • Victorian dilemma

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By crumblie (28 reviews) from Attleborough , 29 Sep 2009

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This film is a mix of scientific discovery and personal tradgedy and is imbued with victorian views and principles! It explores Darwins dilemma in that publishing his theory he goes against God and his wife a devout Christian! It is almost as though he is being punished in his personal life for his beliefs! A must see film if a little long and with too many agonised close ups of Darwins face for my liking!Fine acting throughout and wonderful photography.

  • Creation at snail's pace

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By MelissaMarabamma (218 reviews) from South Coast UK , 20 Mar 2013
    Brilliant British Film but the Director could be accused of failing to get the audience to engage with the lead characters for the first 42 minutes. So whilst I am glad that I saw it all the way through, I was disappointed that it was such a slow start and such a narrow focus. This man is buried in Westminster Abbey; this tells you how much he suffered for such pivotally important science. Jennifer and Paul were as brilliant as ever they are.

  • Very slow

    Rated - 2.5 stars  
    By a customer , 11 Mar 2013
    Such a slow film with flashbacks to Darwins early life the only light relief, just about stayed awake to the end.

  • OK but not memorable

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By PaulHappy (144 reviews) , 08 Feb 2013
    This movie certainly reveals the tenderness of Darwin to his wife and family. It also shows something of the dilemma he had regarding religious sensibilities and his theory of evolution - which today are not necessarily at extremes but a lot closer than people imagine. For me the film is caught in the obvious rock and a hard place - in that in trying to portray his family life and also his academic life - it fails to do full justice to either, Overall it is an OK movie but certainly nothing very memorable.
