Sadly Over-hyped

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is honestly my favourite film ever. Every aspect of it is so perfect, the way it represents teenagers is just fantastic, focusing on those other than the stereotypical cool kids and even managing to subvert the stereotypes of the 'nerd' characters. The way that the characters are developed is truly awe inspiring, each chapter is shaped, crafted, made truly human. The icing on the cake is the fantastic visuals, this film has an organic, natural beauty, the way it's shot feels so warm, so right, so natural. This, paired with the fantastically beautiful score this film is just too much to love and I do, I really do, I love it all.

I wasn't expecting the movie to be so good. I am an engineer and I felt its family drama story of a child prodigy of some sort. However, it greater than that, its about the bonds we share, how we interpret people who are different to us and how they interpret us. We are lost between our checklist with which we gauge everyone around as decide whether they are relevant to us or not! But then there comes days when we come out of shell and see the larger picture and understand things which never made sense.yes, I haven't said a thing about movie or its character, I wish to keep it hidden and let you experience it yourself.A must watch is my final verdict.

Nathan (Asa Butterfield) hits the "based on a true story" trifecta as a math prodigy who's solidly on the spectrum and suffers from PTSD. As with other such movies we've seen, including "Philomena" and "The Imitation Game," this one's quite watchable but a little disappointing—seems like the script had to be tinkered with too much to fill out the standard story arc and meet the expectations of mainstream viewers. This is docmaker Morgan Matthews's first fiction film, and in the best scenes, Nathan's just wandering around Taipei with his Chinese study buddy (Jo Yang), Hou Hsiao-hsien–style. Somehow the relationships between Nathan, his neuronormal mum and his tutor—a disappointed guy who makes bitter, though sometime very funny little jokes about his debilitating illness—didn't quite click for me. I was looking forward to a Mike Leigh stock-company reunion, what with Eddie Marsan and Rafe (son of Timothy) Spall, though I'm worried that fabulous Sally Hawkins ("Happy-Go-Lucky") might be getting typecast these days as the fubsy, put-upon mum (cf. Woody's "Blue Jasmine"). Despite the weaknesses of the screenplay, the performances were all first rate—Jake Davies totally nails it as a would-be Math Olympian who's afraid he's not quite "clever" enough (for his abrasive aspie mannerisms to pass muster). Kudos to the screenwriter (or the "maths" consultant or whoever) for picking a number-theory problem for Nathan to solve in a way that even a dummy like me could follow

Before I watched the movie I checked the ratings here and other sites and I really thought this is a good movie . It was nice lighthearted and entertaining enough to finish the whole movie, but I can count lots of things missing. There was not enough layers to begin with either emotionally or for the plot . If the main purpose of movie emotions then it should have succeeded in that aspect or if they want approach conceptually then I would want to see more things about math or Nathan's spectrum disease. The problem with the movie does not focus anything enough to make us satisfied in at least one aspect and the plot is never thickens. Also mother's and teacher's relationship was very redundant and Mathematics parts were not interesting, any person knows a little mathematics can say that mathematics is not just about prime numbers and Fibonacci series or one-two probability problem.Whole movie shows mathematicians always with problems but love solve every problem is not very believable since we never get to see break and return points in the movie and have to accept things just happened. Over all I can't say movie is brilliant as its name.
