A cautionary tale about the use of radioactivity? It seems like Jack Thorne's screenplay wanted to cover a lot of ground in under two hours.

Although Rosamund Pike's acting is not that bad, the clunky dialogue and so many awkward situations don't favor her and her character. It's kind of weird when she's talking to her daughters like they're her colleagues.

And what was all that about those flashback and flashforward scenes? I mean, I get the parallel between her work and the future consequences, but it feels like the movie is trying to "open our eyes" to situations that have concerned the whole world for ages.… Expand

Rosamund Pike is miscast, she tries too hard. The whole production would have worked without her strident portrayal of Marie Curie. Painful.

This film create a shallow scientific researcher (Marie Curie) that do all the important things of nuclear science without giving credit to the men it despises. Other works like the film of 1943, a simple book or even the wiki page give you a better insight of her discoveries without any misconception. If still you want to watch it, i suggest researching everything the film tells you, to not get a really bad picture of Marie Greatness. And also, Marie is a terrible person, like all of us, and the film doesn´t bother to show you this fact, so please, caution with this film, it is radioactive.… Expand

The film tries to sell propaganda instead of focusing on great scientist. Lack of good historical character is such lost opportunity here. Some parts are gallop, some unnecessary.
