ReviewsTime Out London - Its various riffs on codes, whether moral, sexual, societal or German, are plain to see rather than enigmatic or enlightening. Luckily itÆs all anchored in a storming performance from Cumberbatch: youÆll be deciphering his work long after the credits roll., Chicago Sun-Times - The film works as well as it does due to the genius of Benedict Cumberbatch and the way he has inhabited Alan TuringÆs persona., The Hollywood Reporter - Dominating it all is Cumberbatch, whose charisma, tellingly modulated and naturalistic array of eccentricities, Sherlockian talent at indicating a mind never at rest and knack for simultaneously portraying physical oddness and attractiveness combine to create an entirely credible portrait of genius at work., Charlotte Observer - This suspenseful drama reveals pieces of its puzzle steadily and slowly, until the final heartrending picture can be seen at last. Remarkably, it comes from a screenwriter who had never had a feature film produced and a director who had never made one in English.
