An engrossing look at history through the lens of the internal battles of the left, Eddie Redmayne was apparently born to play the wavering, respectability hunting Tom Hayden, with Baron Cohen and Jeremy Strong stealing scenes wholesale as the similarly scene stealing Hoffman and Rubin. It is an Aaron Sorkin down to a climactic scene hinging on grammar and men mutually admiring each other's writing, though it's careful never to throw in a gratuitous woman to have things explained to. It's still an invigorating experience
