Right, tough to convey more of the true story and character of Turing in a 2 hr film. But my takeaways were a few memorable things like the moment of pure achievement/problem solving joy that any engineer/dev around here can relate to - collective joy at cracking a puzzle. I felt it.

And the pain that Turing had later in the film/in his life - I felt that too. Cumberbatch's weird self, and the overbearing lone/nerd vibe they gave Turing aside, they tried to convey the pain and sadness and I think it was portrayed enough for the audience to feel it and sympathize.

Could be argued that the film contributed to this path that he's now going to be on the banknote perhaps?
