A tour de force for both the cast and the director

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2002)

Russell Crowe and Ron Howard made an unbeatable team when they made A BEAUTIFUL MIND, the touching biographical drama about the life and times of Princeton professor John Forbes Nash. Crowe poignantly
portrays Nash, whom over a span of 40 years, suffered terrible
hallucinations despite being mentally brilliant in the field of mathematics. Jennifer Connelly won her well-deserved Oscar as Nash's doting wife, who stood by her man as he fell into a deep abyss of schizophrenia. Ron Howard's direction is fine as always, showcasing Nash's live over the years, and telling the story that might throw off viewers at first with intriguing twists, but he never fails to entertain.
