I thought the movie was quite forging in its ability to trace the writers foundational basis for his future writings. The “muse” was Tolkien’s life itself- portraying its emerging vision for Tolkien’s directional works- from his friends, his early struggles, his intelligence and final his love. The fact that the “Tolkien Family” does not support or has seen the movie isbof little consequence to me- the movie is just one biographical look into Tolkien’s life and I am sure there could be multiple stories told. I give this movie my “thumbs up” as it did an excellent job of bring to light one of my favorite authors life history.
