Deserves Its Accolades

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2002)

Who could guess that an extraordinarily entertaining mainstream movie could be made about a schizophrenic mathematician? I couldn't, but I'm not Ron Howard, who has done just that. This film also proves that Russell Crowe is not just another pretty face, but a major acting talent. Ditto for Jennifer Connelly. And on and on. My bottom line is that if you have not yet seen this movie, and like myself, believed the subject matter could not be made entertaining, you are wrong. Make this your next film.
