The whole Africa thing didn't happen like this nor did the scene where Eddington proved Einstein's theory, and it wasn't in public. Einstein did marry his 1st cousin, right after his divorce from his 1st wife came through, as it had taken a long time (the only thing this got right). Eddington did not help him or pose the question. The "history" in this movie is not even close, except that Einstein did indeed solve this puzzle. What was the director thinking? Give him clear lenses and contacts. Tennant, a fine actor, played Eddington over the top and his glasses magnified his eyes in a very distracting and strange way. As many people view movies based on history as history itself, this was a cheap ploy to resemble A Beautiful Mind, and further muddled the plot (why hire an actor to play the object of his affections, for two very short scenes?). He might have been, but he never came out. Nowhere it say, that I have found, that Eddington was gay. They should have picked two and stuck to those. They tried to drag too many dramatic elements which muddled things. Einstein was portrayed as a joke, when he wasn't working, that is. The fine ensemble of actors never seemed to gel and had zero chemistry. Reviewed by caramia2002 4 / 10 Good Attempt, but Serious Problems
