An Oscar-bait movie through and through. The set design and Rosamund Pike's performace are the only things working here. The writing and direction couldn't be more bland. Marie Curie deserves better than this.

_Radioactive_ is set at the turn of the 19th century and, judging from the amount of melodrama, this war also when the film was made. I only hope the Marie Curie who discovered two scientific elements and won two Nobel prizes was less hysterical and given to histrionics than the poor woman portrayed in this film by the most dangerous kind of actor: the ones with award fever. I would've liked to write a glowing review of _Radioactive_, but sadly it's short a few basic elements that would allow it to chart, no matter how periodically.

I believe this would have been better as a limited 6hr series. That would have given us a more detailed more interesting insight into the woman and her life. But as it is the movie rushed over many events in her life and thus I feel it just kind of mudied the movie. But it was certainly interesting. I did learn a bit more about Madame Curie.

Seems like they tried to cram a bunch into a movie run time. And a lot of focus was put on the bad things caused by radiation and giving very little time to the good that had come from it.

Marie Curie was the first person to ever win a Nobel prize twice, and her legacy - alongside that of her husband and of their daughter - is no doubt what appealed to Rosamund Pike when offered this part. Sadly, though, the end product does very little justice to this trailblazing woman. It tries to More

'Radioactive' doesn't know what it wants to be - a biopic, a period drama, or a feminist meditation on the role of women in male-dominated fields - and while it is possible for a film to be all three, sadly this fragile script cannot juggle all of these successfully. What audiences are left with is More
