The director has not been able to reproduce his excellent microscopic perspective and delicate display of the spiritual world of the characters in The Theory of Everything. The whole film is natural and smooth, and the process of emotional transformation is reasonable and reasonable, but it lacks impressive clever pens. At the level of drama, the film combines the image of midlife crisis with the dilemma on the sea. It can be said to be an ingenious metonymy. The tribulations of sailing alone naturally reflect the rich symbolic meaning of the family. The situation of hope but powerlessness and exhaustion of mind and body speaks more vividly of the "cross" at a certain stage of life. However, the script did not dig deeper into the protagonist’s life and inner world, resulting in a vivid and heart-pointing plot that was shallow, and the scene of Crowhurst’s throwing into the sea was not painful or itchy. To make matters worse, the end of the film arranges his wife's moral preaching anger at the crowd, which can easily cause confusion in the three views of the film.

The film is barely qualified in storytelling, but it is unconvincing in terms of character mining and value presentation. The first half of the film is told according to the story mode of small Hollywood characters becoming famous. Whether the protagonist can overcome obstacles and complete the journey to win the championship becomes the biggest suspense of the film. The genre narrative in the first 80 minutes was a little plain, and the characterization was not satisfactory. In the last half hour when the director's ability to portray the mental confusion of the characters is truly manifested, the film is out of control. The insanity of Donald presented by the climax of the final plot is on the surface. The protagonist's pretending to be profound self-confession does not arouse the audience's "The Mercy" and empathy for the actor's sin of concealing the truth and deceiving the world. Wishful bias towards the male protagonist in terms of values is the main reason that leads to the loss of control of the film's value. The criticism of the crime of kidnapping by the media and public relations team may be the only highlight of the film
