Just watched this and the first half is a great movie, but the second half feels strangely unfocused and unclear about what it wants to be. The writing, witty and sharp in the first half, falls into dreadful clichés and drops all of its subtlety so it kind of becomes a tedious movie to sit through. Redmayne and Vikander are both brilliant though, and surprisingly (or maybe not), it's the subdued conflicted performance of Redmayne in the first half that really is him at his absolute best. The further the movie goes the more his performance falters under the lack of subtlety of the material.
I also just came to realize that Ben Whishaw is really an abysmal actor who has no business being in a serious movie like this. His whole performance was so consistently off that within a minute of screentime he would draw me out of the movie. And you know it's especially bad when even friggin' Amber Heard of all actresses in the world fits like a glove.
