I think an 8 is pretty high! Okay, maybe 9/10
Imitation Game was great. Benedict and Kiera were excellent. The story was great. I had heard about him and Bletchley before so it was really up my alley and I'm glad they did a good job. BTW, there's a great BBC show called "The Bletchley Circle" which focuses on a group of former Bletchley women who meet up after the war and solve crimes! It's actually more serious than that sounds!
And with Her, I liked how it made you think about what it really means to love someone or connect with someone. And I think it gave such a realistic view of how the future could go, especially when they show exterior shots with people all connected to their phones and ignoring the rest of the world. He shot it so naturally without drawing too much attention to it, but it's there.
