Review of The Man Who Knew Infinity (2016) by Douglas56 — 23 May 2016

What can you say about a film that deal so earnestly with the life of such a remarkable man yet teeters on the edge of terrible for most of its 105 minutes? It's a big ask to make a compelling film about a number theorist or any mathematician or scientist, especially when the script needs to conform to 'true events', but most previous attempts in the genre have been more successful than this lame melodrama which bores nerds and non-nerds equally, but for different reasons.

Jeremy Irons is excellent but he usually is.
