This biographical drama follows Marie Curie-the first woman awarded a Nobel Prize and the only woman granted a Nobel award in two various sciences-as embodied by Rosamund Pike: directed by Marjane Satrapi and telling the incredible story of finding radium, polonium, and her painful personal life on earth and for posterity. The movie also touches on the dual-edged nature of scientific progress as Curie's discoveries revolutionized medicine but were also used for devastating purposes, like nuclear weapons. It is visually striking and gives a new angle to Curie's legacy.
