A Beautiful Mind is definitely a typical Oscar movie, but man, it knocked me out. Not only were the performances spectacular (Crowe has never been better), but the direction and cinematography are top notch as well. I honestly don't see how anyone can have a problem with this fil... read more
A Beautiful Mind is a beautiful film! There's not much to be said of it really.

A remarkable story that will make you question the mind's logic and reality.

It makes you understand what it feels like to have a serious breakdown in powerful, empathetic ways that no movie has ever done before.
Nash's subterranean nightmare takes on the gripping elements of a psychological thriller. Full Review
You can't believe Russell Crowe is the same actor who won an Oscar one year ago for Gladiator. The film has a reveal so startling I almost got whiplash, shaking my head in amazement.
As bold and searingly imaginative as it is substantive. Full Review
[Howard's] most accomplished, most mature and least-compromised movie, 'Oscar-worthy' in every way. Full Review
Crowe and Connelly's work rises above the mush.
