RADIOACTIVE
Recommended. It's no biopic. It's a context-rich depiction of what science means for researchers and for the general public. Of course, much of it is about Maria Skłodowska-Curie. We can palpably feel her despair after her husband's death. But the most profoundly moving moments are those of scientific breakthroughs, including their implications for the future, after her demise in 1934. The gravity of the topic is magnified by the use of music like in TV programs on science - "Metamorphosis Part 1" and "The Poet Acts" by Philip Glass. Still, the marriage interview conducted by the scientist is amusing. And you see that at the Solvay International Conference of 1927 Maria Skłodowska-Curie was the only woman - hilarious nowadays.
