Tolkien

As a fan of Tolkien's work and someone who researched into his life for a thesis, I found the movie a very good foundation into the challenges he faced and how that was translated into his work. While the movie slightly romanticised the relationships and very much down played Tolkien's beliefs it did express some of the key elements and how he used Middle-Earth to cope with the horror and struggles he dealt with in the life. As to the actors, settings and screenplay it flowed rather well but the cutting of the timeline to jump between youth and adulthood was my only frustration.

What a beautiful story and beautiful acting! Watch it! It actually made a cry it was so lovely.

Excellent background of Tolkien and how he formulated his fantasy adventures.
