Fucking nice!

How historically accurate is it?

Alan Turing was homosexual. And there he is having an affair with a woman? Turing was prosecuted for homosexuality in 1952, when such acts were still criminalised in the UK. He accepted treatment with estrogen injections (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison.

Actually he is not, if you watch the trailer you can hear him saying something like "but I don't like her that way", at least this part they got it right.
