Albert Einstein was the most prominent victim of the persecution of Jews in the early years of the Nazi regime. The globally respected scientist was given shelter by Member of Parliament Oliver Locker-Lampson in 1933 and had two female bodyguards. A mix of archival footage and reconstruction (with McArdie as Einstein) consists entirely of quotes that, in most cases, also apply to the present day.

The documentary—or is it a film—hooks a little too obviously into the success of Oppenheimer (2023). Still, it is not bad, although McArdle perhaps relies a bit too much on his scruffy gray hair to portray his role as Einstein. I thought Tom Conti did a somewhat stronger job.
Furthermore, the content is all a bit on the sloppy side. If you claim to deliver a documentary, I think you should stick to the facts a bit more strictly. Still, it is quite an entertaining affair.
