Professor Marston and the Wonder Women tells the story of American psychologist William Moulton Marston, the creator of the lie detector, and his very unconventional life in living with both his wife and another woman they both loved, their taste in very dominating sexual pleasures, and Marston's work in creating Wonder Woman. While some have said that the film takes some liberties with the actual life of Marston and his family, as stated by the descendants of him, the film is really well told and has a perfect cast behind it. The relationship between all three leads as played by Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall, and Bella Heathcote feels very real. One of the most interesting moments in the film is near the end as it looks at Marston creating Wonder Woman and dealing with the fallout of how much sexual situations who put in the comics and many conservative groups attacking him and comics over it. An aspect that really bothers me, though, is the fact that the movie takes place in the span of about 20 years and yet no one looks like they've aged, except for their children growing up, where Evans doesn't even have any aged makeup or to look more sickly due to his cancer. The best scene in the film I found is when Marston and his wife finally come up with the idea of how to properly finish and use their lie detector by measuring blood pressure and using it for the first time. Over all: 100%
