The fact that Turing was gay is not shied away from - it’s inarguably a big part of the film - but it’s the way it goes about portraying it that feels diluted and lazy. I never felt the unimaginable turmoil Turing clearly went through. But that’s obviously not all there is to Turing’s story, and it’s when director Morten Tyldum and writer Graham Moore try do the rest of it justice that “Imitation Game” feels like a missed opportunity. The work he did to crack Nazi Germany’s Enigma code (inventing the computer in the process) is the film’s primary narrative and it’s presented to us with extraordinary production value and a tight, exciting pace. The film certainly does a good job honoring Turing’s professional achievements.
