The Imitation Game
AroView: Entertaining, though hardly accurate, biopic of legendary cryptanalyst Alan Turing, who here claims full credit for his work leading a team of code-breakers at Britain’s top-secret Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II.
Benedict Cumberbatch presents just the right level of eccentric, and also his torment, in the tragic sub-plot detailing Turing’s closeted homosexuality in oppressive times.
“So innately compelling is Turing’s story - to say nothing of Benedict Cumberbatch’s masterful performance - it’s hard not to get caught up in this well-told tale and its skillful manipulations.” ~Scott Foundas, Variety
