Yes, it's a very good movie. But the book is so much better.

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2002)

This is a good movie. But if you enjoyed it, or were moved by it, you owe it to yourself to read Sylvia Nasar's biography of Nash. The book (also called A BEAUTIFUL MIND) is one of the most riveting and moving pieces of nonfiction I've ever read, and certainly one of the finest biographies published in the past ten or fifteen years. I took it with me on a trip to Asia about a year and a half ago, and my only regret was that it ended a couple of hours into my 11-hour flight home. It's a wonderful book.
