Flew by, did <em>'The Electrical Life of Louis Wain'</em>. It's a well paced film that holds solid emotion to it, while it's nicely acted by the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy. I dig the costumes/set designs too. It also gets bonus points for cats, because... cats. It's not a perfect film, for example the humour is quite off, but it's definitely an interesting watch. I knew nothing about Louis Wain beforehand but that didn't hamper my enjoyment, fwiw. Cumberbatch is very good as the main man, he brings across all the quirkiness and necessary emotion of Wain. Foy supports strongly, I loved her in <em>'<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crown_(TV_series)">The Crown</a>'</em> so I'm happy to see more of her. Speaking of that television show, her successor on it, Olivia Colman, is also involved; as narrator. Andrea Riseborough also stood out to me, while I note the appearances of Toby Jones, Adeel Akhtar (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_(British_TV_series)#:~:text=Adeel%20Akhtar%20as%20Wilson%20Wilson">Wilson Wilson</a>, to me!) and, unexpectedly, Taika Waititi. I almost gave this 3½*, but I think 3* is about right. Good film.
