A Brief History of Time is an elegant, inspirational and mysterious movie. Morris turns abstract ideas into haunting images, and keeps them spinning in the air with the finesse, and playfulness, of a master juggler. Feb 8, 2018 | Full Review…

Few of us can judge Hawking's intellect, but any of us can sense that fire, that insistence of self on self. Apr 11, 2016 | Full Review…

A Brief History delivers a clear, often fascinating precis on the investigations and beliefs of one of the world's leading scientific theorists. Yet Morris is too shrewd a documentarian to miss the drama of Hawking's life. Jun 6, 2018 | Full Review…

Morris. Hawking. Two of my favorite artists together. It couldn't miss, and it didn't. Mar 19, 2014 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

[The film has] a sophisticated agenda that's more about association than data or personal trivia, and Morris' philosophy takes it to places a conventional documentary could never go. Mar 17, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A capable documentary, but the title's misleading. It's more about Hawking himself than the book this docu takes its name from. Dec 19, 2002 | Rating: 3/5

As conventional as a routine documentary made for television, it feels not only superficial in the way it covers Hawking's life and theories (sometimes even lacking in clarity) but also irritating as it doesn't let us know who the interviewees are (there are no captions whatsoever).
Super Reviewer
Plays with your head - in a good way.
It has the potential to be a snoozefest but it is well shot and therefore both the film and subject keep your interest. Everyone should have the experience of seeing what spending time with Mr. Hawking is really like.
