  • Benedict Cumberbatch gives one of his best performances in this moving biopic with an incredible story. This movie has stuck with me ever since I first saw it, particularly because of the way it tells Alan Turing's story across three different time periods. Every part of The Imitation Game feels perfectly constructed, from its production design to its beautiful score. This is easily one of my favorite movies.

  • The Imitation Game is heartbreaking and enthralling. While its flashbacks explores Turing's wartime deeds in a fascinating and suspenseful way, the slow unfolding of its framing device truly hits home the heartwrenching truth about the figure's tragedy thanks to an all-star cast performing at their finest.

'The Imitation Game' is a fantastic piece of historical theater that never fully embraces its cinematic identity.
