While thousands of allied troops were storming Omaha beach,
a small group of mathematicians were breaking the Nazi codes and quietly
winning World War 2. It’s an amazing story; well-directed, beautifully acted,
and historically reverential. It’s also heartbreaking how the British
government treated Alan Turing, the genius cryptographer who built the machine
that solved the Nazi puzzle. So while this is a superb and inspiring biography,
it’s not a very uplifting one. But it’s a must see. Keira Knightly and Benedict
Cumberbatch will earn lots of nominations and statues and stuff for this. You
can bet on it.
