Verdict: Talk about perfect timing. "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women" tells the story of famous psychologist William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans) and his relationship with the women who inspired him to create the character of Wonder Woman: his wife, Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), and his mistress, Olive (Bella Heathcote). Writer/director Angela Robinson managed to hit two birds with one stone with this movie. She not only introduced the world to the eccentric lifestyle of the creator of one of today's most important feminism figures, but also highlighted the history, complexity, and significance of the world's most famous superheroine. The way she was able to juggle between the two narratives was impressive, and I never felt like she deviated from one to focus on the other. Robinson is not the only star of the picture, as all the performances are excellent, and the cinematography eye-grabbing. That film will leave a mark on cinephiles and fans of Wonder Woman alike. I highly recommend it. 

Final Grade: 7/10
