Save your money for something good and enjoyable

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

As soon as I heard the initial words sprung from the irritating mouth of actress Samantha Colley who plays Dora Maar, Pablos Picasso's muse I realized that the producers of both biographies Einstein, and of Pablo Picasso were more concerned about production budgets than portraying realistic biographies of these two famous and influential men. Samantha Colley's accent and dialect were exactly the same playing two disparate women. Could the producers not have afforded having two different women play these two integral parts representing two different famous people, one being a Jew and the other a Spaniard? Heck, maybe the producers could have saved even more money if they simply had Geoffrey Rush play both the elder Einstein and Pablo Picasso.I half enjoyed the biography Einstein, bu Colley's portrayal of Eisnstein' wife and mother of his two sons, Mileva Maric was abysmal. She couldn't even get a invalid walk right, let alone play a brilliant scientist and jealous wife. Then when I listened to her first attempt to talk in a spanish dialect to Pablo Picasso it was like pricking a tightly helium filled balloon with a sharp hot needle and her same voice was a complete turn off to the second half of the series Genius.The producers had two solid actors in Geoffrey Rush (Einstein) and Antonio Banderas (Pablo Picasso) surely they could have afforded to provide a more credible supportive cast.

I read one review that said the viewer was disappointed after watching the first episode for its switching between past and present. Interestingly, the first episode was the least enjoyable to watch as it was a little disconcerting. But the production of the show was very well thought-out in the sense that this series (season one) BUILT the story of Einstein. It didn't just TELL a story, but allowed you to "get into Einstein's head" and understand what made the man the way he was. To watch this series, commit yourself to watching it and stay with it. A few times I thought it was slow and some of the detail written into the script was "fill", but the fact is that at the end of the last episode.. and the end of the last scene.. every part of the filming that made this production ALL came together!Kudo's to the writers and production team for an EXCELLENT production! Movies nearly always tell a story, but they don't frequently make you feel as though you've been a PART of that story or lived the experiences of the people in that movie. Genius: Einstein successfully did exactly that!Without giving away anything, it appears to be close to real life (though does take some creative license as you would expect, plus it doesn't completely write out some of the details of his life.. but that's probably because the seasons appear to be a straight 10 episode "adventure). You'll learn about his life from his childhood to his death, his influences, the tragedies, his family, his success, AND his failures (with many in his own personal life). You'll learn that this true genius certainly has his human flaws!Really worth watching! Entertaining (though don't expect fast-paced, heart-pounding adventure as it's not that type of series and does move slow at times), very informative, and educational as well. Don't let negative reviews influence you to not watch this.. and certainly watch at least two or three episodes before forming an opinion (as at least one reviewer clearly did). If you watch one episode and say "not for me", you won't know what the series is really like. It takes a few.. and you WILL be hooked!

I think that that movie it the best movie ever what i ever seen it is about genius scientist albert einstein
