Radioactive (2019)
7/10
Historically lackadaisical, borderline camp futurisms. But Pike is terrific.

To be seen despite its faults. She was a great woman who should be more than a snapshot in our cultural memory.

Some liberties taken with fact were just unnecessary and unwanted. For example, It was a male Swedish mathematician that ensured her inclusion in the 1903 Nobel Prize, not husband Pierre. And her husband did NOT go to the ceremony and leave her behind. Neither went.

The melodramatic cutaways to future events depicting the legacy of radioactivity seem shoe-horned in.

But at least Marie is not made to sing a pop tune in the finale - as Almereyda makes Tesla do in Tesla (2020).
