A dramatisation of Charles Darwin's struggle to write The Origin of Species. Paul Bettany in the lead role as a man who has lost his faith when his 10 year old daughter Anna dies. She continually haunts his dreams in this movie. Jennifer Connelly plays his wife, who has incredibly strong religious beliefs.
I found it very slow, although I thought it was beautifully shot. The time release photography was amazing, but I didn't feel I gained any insight in to Charles Darwin.
I'm having a bit of a bad run at the movies right now. Hope it gets better soon.
