The movie came across as a 6.5 to me and a part of it might be the high expectations I had of it after seeing a 97% fresh rating and a lot of positive criticism. Expectations aside, having viewed movies on music prodigy, math prodigies and ones based on biographies,this came across as a rather mundane effort with little screen time spent on the beauty of Maths.
The characterization had be tad befuddled too. The specific aspects being the kid suffering from Asperger's which seems to be specifically directed at the mom. My medical knowledge of the condition is limited, however, it's understandable if they showed how the mom couldn't handle his condition but here that was not the case. He merged well enough with the team and took off rather well with the girl. Then why was he being a complete ass to his mother?
That being said, the acting and the pace of direction was good enough but left me wanting something better out of it.
