Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Gre da Vid An excellent film with echoes of "Amadeus" where men marvel at the capacity for someone to create, without effort, that which only brilliance understands and comprehends. Instead of music, as was the case with "Amadeus," this story is of mathematics and a man who could create formulas, without proof, knowing that what he created was correct. The proof came later and established as fact, a man's extreme intelligence. Well worth taking the time to see this film.

hintum When I first came upon this film I was unsure if it would be any good, but I was astonished just how good this movie was. The two lead actors in the movie,Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons were incredible together. Apparently the movie took some fictional license to other parts of Ramanujan life, but essentially the important aspect of this movie, is his work with Hardy and time at trinity. The powerful aspect of this movie lies behind the facts that the theories are still being proven a century after they were first foretold

sukethksrivatsan Considering the fact that I am a distant relative of the great Srinivasa Ramanujam,I really can't express extent of the justice which was done to him through this film.it is greatness like this which can is indefinable,it's a country like ours which mostly goes unrecognized owing to the great miraculous things we have achieved.this is a tale to tell and I am proud to be belonging to a country where this legend took breath.my family is very proud to have this movie about this esteemed countrymen of ours.my aunt showed me a picture of the hut he was living in,I couldn't help but breakdown considering such a genius from such simple backgrounds.always it's the people whom no one expects anything of ,who do things that no one can imagine and I am destined to live in an era of such great people.thank you God.

vincentlynch-moonoi I've enjoyed Dev Patel in a number of films (especially "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel") and in cable's "The Newsroom". I thought he had potential. But with this film -- which is about a topic I hate -- mathematics -- I thought the old saying (slightly paraphrased) was appropriate: Instead of "Today you are a man", "Today you are an actor." To me, there is one problem with this film. It's difficult to relate to the story since the average film-goer doesn't have the slightest idea what these mathematicians are doing. I'm quite well educated...but what they're going means nothing to me.And so, most of us can only relate to half the film -- the human story. And that is something that most of us can relate to. Prejudice. Family intrigue. How to accept another human being. Giftedness. And other human themes. And it is here that both Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons shine. And, I also have to give a nod to a British actor that I usually care for (perhaps because of the parts I've seen him in) -- Toby Jones -- whom I found quite endearing here. Devika Bhise, as Patel's wife, is also very good. The other actors...mostly British...do their jobs well, but don't really stand out.But while I consider this a sort of break-out movie for Dev Patel, I want to focus for a moment on Jeremy Irons. I look at "actors" like (well, I'll pick on Tom Cruise here as one example) Tom Cruise, and I know that when it comes to the craft of acting, they can't hold a candle to someone like Jeremy Irons. He was never a matinée "star" in the normal sense of the word, but throughout his career he has demonstrated an understanding of the real craft of acting...and he does it again here.If you are a serious movie-goer, even if (like me) you're not into mathematics, I recommend this film.
