...tells his story with respect and some restraint, showing how sad and weakened Charles is and yet not ratcheting up his grief into unseemly melodrama.

Thoughtful, moving, and Bettany is brilliant. To be reminded of the power of love to redeem and repair, catch Creation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Creation about? Toggle content

Creation tells the story of Charles Darwin's struggle to reconcile his revolutionary ideas about evolution with his deeply held beliefs and personal relationships. As he works on his groundbreaking book, On the Origin of Species, he faces opposition from religious leaders and his own family, who fear his theories will challenge traditional religious beliefs. Despite the challenges he faces, Darwin is driven by a passion for discovery and a desire to understand the natural world. Through flashbacks and hallucinations, the film shows how Darwin's daughter Annie, who died at a young age, continues to inspire and guide him as he works on his book. Ultimately, Darwin's journey leads him to a profound understanding of the natural world and the interconnectedness of all living things.
