There were moments where I thought it was great, especially when it focused on the couple's relationship.

That being said, I don't think this is an Oscar worthy performance of his.

Even as he goes through his surgeries, it still shows the toll it takes on her. I was hoping it would be better too. A B- is very generous, and it's only because of Vikander.

While she is in the movie a lot, I thought that her story took a step back at the last 20 minutes of the film, making it completely Redmayne's film. That made me see that the film wasn't really about her as well, but her relationship with Einar/Lili, in that her perspective only really mattered in terms of their interaction.<br />With the reception it was getting, I was hoping the film would be better. Even Vikander's performance wasn't enough to save the film.

I felt she gave the most three-dimensional performance and while I would give her a nod for Ex Machina, I'd have no arguments with her being nominated for this.
