Creation (PG)   108 mins

"How he saw the world changed it forever."

A world-renowned scientist, and a dedicated family man struggling to accept his daughter's death, Charles Darwin (Paul Bettany) is torn between his love for his deeply religious wife Emma (Bettany's real-life wife Jennifer Connelly) and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place. He finds himself caught in a battle between faith and reason, love and truth.  This is the extraordinary story of Charles Darwin and how his master-work The Origin of Species came to light. It tells of a global revolution played out in the confines of a small English village; a passionate marriage torn apart by the most provocative idea in history - evolution; and a theory saved from extinction by the logic of a child.  The terrific cast includes Toby Jones and Jeremy Northam.

"Turning faith versus science into husband versus wife might sound like a crass reduction of a great debate but it actually works rather well, what with the wider implications having been expertly explored elsewhere (take a bow, Andrew Marr) and the story being brought to life by two truly wonderful actors. Bettany, in particular, is remarkable ."  Channel 4 Films

"Enjoyable and occasionally quite moving."  Daily Mirror
