A Beautiful Film!!!

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2006)

A very poignant and heartfelt film that really touches the heart of the viewer. It follows the life of mathematician John Nash as he struggles through University and then through life trying to cope with mental illness. It does a great job of displaying schizophrenia and its effects to both the individual and those around them, and is wonderfully emotive throughout. The film is somewhat drawn out, but this befits the both complicated and intriguing nature of the subject matter. The film is not easy going, nor does it go at a thrill a minute pace, but if you like something more thoughtful that tugs on the heart strings then you can't go far wrong with A Beautiful Mind.
