I'm curious about other people's reactions to The Imitation Game, a film in which Sherlock Holmes is hired by Tywin Lannister to crack Enigma.

I really enjoyed the film; thought it was a very decent portrayal of misunderstood socially inept genius. Got me right in the feels. My wife concurs. I would happily recommend it on that basis.

If you're expecting any historical accuracy or sensible computer science, you will be sadly disappointed; if this is a problem for you, avoid. This is not Turing's history; this is Turing fanfiction.
