๐˜‹๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ ๐˜ž๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ, a movie about advanced mathematics that couldn't possibly be more stupid. A quote on the back of the DVD case advertised this sappy drivel as "The kind of movie that's made for Oscar" - and I have to say, I couldn't agree more: in that it's overdramatized into ruin, sickeningly melodramatic to the point of near offense, talks a great deal but says nothing (has lengthy asides about conditioners and pointless math puns to pad out this pathetic non-story), everyone overacts, and it reeks of a pretentious stage production poorly translated to the screen with minimal effort. Overly literary for no reason whatsoever, despite the fact that it's nothing more than unnecessary, surface-level jargon which actively refuses to show even a hint of depth. What I'm sure would be at least *ever so slightly* more compelling on the stage absolutely falls apart on screen with no sense of what this should have kept/added/omitted/etc. to make it work. The only proof to come out of this is that John Madden remains one of the reigning kings of bad, intolerable Oscar bait. Glad he gave up this shit for worlds better stuff like ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜š๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ. Lowpoint cringe cinema.
