The Imitation Game

CriticsCritics: 80
AudienceAudience: 8.2

During World War II, a gifted mathematician joins a team of code-breakers at a secret British school, racing to decipher a code that could change the course of the conflict. As pressure mounts, his difficult working relationships and the challenges of fitting in shape the effort.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like tense wartime dramas, compelling true-story-inspired stories, and standout performances; Not for you if you prefer strict historical accuracy or a consistently brisk pace.
