An Imitation of LIFE... One of the Most Outrageous Cases of Injustice Ever Brought to the Screen

In a Perfect World...Nothing Like what occurs in Imitation Game could have ever happened. As this review is being written, the Presentation of this year´s Oscars is but a scant couple of hours away!

It is very easy to understand why Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the front-runners for Best Actor. As Alan Turing, a Cambridge professor who was anything but SIMPATICO, the British actor manages to inspire a great deal of audience empathy for a character who, had he been represented by a different actor, probably would not have been able to establish such a solid viewer connection!....

Now, under no circumstances, does my review purport to claim the film is 100% accurate as to every detail depicted! Of course not! Any cinematic endeavor is, by definition, a dramatazation of the events.

Certainly... IMITATION is no exception! It is a story that is INSPIRED by real events. Not intended to be taken in as a DOCUMENTARY!

As to the lead character´s faults or his sexuality, almost anyone who sees this film would testify as to its rather low key presentation and that is definitely rather discreet, by 21st Century standards! IMITATION... At least as far as I could see, seemed, more than anything else, rather taut and extremely entertaining! After all, isn´t that the essence of what CINEMA is SUPPOSED to be all about???

10**********... A truly rewarding and outstanding Film!

Exemplary film-making

THE IMITATION GAME is an excellent piece of cinema that proves that there's still an audience for mature, thought-provoking drama. This is British cinema at its finest: superbly written and acted, which tells a series of historical events in an involving way that covers the broad spectrum of cinema.

I love the background of spying and code-breaking so this film's subject matter was right up my street. Alan Turing is a portrayed as a tragic genius character, and Benedict Cumberbatch - although not one of my favourite actors - is perfect in the part. He delivers a character full of quirky mannerisms, whose sheer resistance to normality and likability makes him likable in himself.

The two-hour running time flies past and every scene involved in the film adds to something. Norwegian director Morten Tyldum, who previously made the equally fantastic HEADHUNTERS, shows himself to be a powerful film-making force. The supporting cast are also great, in particular an irascible Charles Dance, MI6 head Mark Strong (thankfully not typecast as a baddie), and Matthew Goode (WATCHMEN) and Allen Leech (ROME) as Turing's companions. By turns moving, gripping, exciting, and heartbreaking, THE IMITATION GAME is a cinematic tour-de-force.

That 'The Imitation Game' was so acclaimed is hardly an enigma at all

Alan Turing was a fascinating, complex person who deserves to be better known to the world. Likewise his story is important and deserves to be told rather than forgotten. Had high hopes for 'The Imitation Game', after hearing so many good things about it, and it ended up being one of my favourite films of 2014.

That 'The Imitation Game' is historically inaccurate and has distortions didn't offend me as much as some reviewers, biographical dramas are notorious for this so it's come to be expected by me (not that that is meant to be an excuse). All that was wanted was a film that made me think, moved me, was well made and well acted. 'The Imitation Game' was all those things and more.

It isn't perfect, the political elements are on the preachy side and there are a few strands that could have gone into more detail, Turing's sexuality should have gotten into more depth than it was.

However, 'The Imitation Game' is exceptionally well made. It's immaculately photographed and has some of the best production design of its best, especially in the costumes. The direction allows the film to be absorbing, while the music score is often hauntingly beautiful and never intrusive.

In terms of the script, 'The Imitation Game' does a wonderful job in provoking thought and providing emotional impact and nuances and fleshes the characters out with remarkable complexity. What could have been potentially dry treatment of the subject matter turned out to be fascinating, thrilling and very moving.

Benedict Cumberbatch gives his best performance of a very solid career, an outstanding portrayal that won't be forgotten for years to come. Keira Knightley is a sympathetic confidante and Charles Dance is excellent as always as his superior. The supporting cast are without complaint.

Overall, wonderful film and its acclaim is a long way from an enigma. 9/10 Bethany Cox
