This movie presents an extreme case of someone suffering from schizophrenia. I have know many people with schizophrenia in my life and I have never ever encountered someone with such extreme psychotic symptoms. The psychiatric symptoms…

Ron Howard is such an excellent director. The story line took me by surprise. The dress and make up so well done. The acting was phenomenal by all.

This movie was draw dropping and astounding! I was absolutely shocked at how well done it was and is definitley a must see movie!!! I origionally thought the plot was moving one way, but then it switched into a more heartbreaking yet…

The 2001 Oscar winner is not mediocre, but it falls into that category of blandly made dramas, like "Marty" and "Ordinary People," that somehow attracted greater Oscar support than the better-deserving and more stimulating productions they…

An amazing, gripping and fascinating docudrama. Well crafted and well acted!

A very good film and so sad and tragic. I once knew a man similar to Nash. A brilliant mathematician. He was so very focused on math, numbers and equations in his life. He could not relate to people socially. Really strange

Wasn't able to watch it. It makes you install InterActual Player on your computer first, and I don't want it on my computer.

How much does evolutionary biology owe this man Nash? John Maynard-Smith isn't here any more to tell us. So call up the king of Oxford. He's writing another children's book, I hear. Cuz life is too complicated. Or vice versa. Is it really…

This was an excellent film; even though its over two hours long, it certainly never felt like it - its perfectly paced and engaging. The story itself really becomes engrossing when there is a plot development (which I cannot explicitly…

You should know a little bit of who John Nash is before watching this 2h 20m long movie. I was confused by reading the synopsis at the back of the dvd case and had to pause the movie just to search who he is. To like this movie or not, to…

This is an excellent movie about the struggle and triumph of a Mathematical genius. Jennifer Connelly won the OSCAR in this movie and superb acting by Russell Crowe.

Watched this in the cinema in 2002. Felt nostalgic to see this again before they removed it on Netflix. A time-less sort of modern classic that's heart-warming and just as touching as it is today compared to when I watched this 16…

A wonderful movie well-done: the genius to overcome a severely debilitating disorder. Russel Crowe not only has the depth to do a manly part like Gladiator, but a more nuanced part like this. He also is a real man in real life unlike…

Truly extraordinary. Tender and thoughtful. I watched it again recently, and it loses nothing from knowing what is going to happen next. Russell Crowe is superb. Tells a tale seldom told, with great respect and intelligent script writing.

Great movie, though there were a few mature scenes we had to skip. Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, and Jennifer Connelly are all great actors. Actually, I read somewhere that Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly first met during the filming of…

Good luck. Excruciatingly long. I managed to watch an hour and a half and that was it. The music, which should complement a film, was overbearing. The John Nash character, played by Russell Crowe, was laughable per his speech. He spoke…

Absolutely stunning film, masterfully directed by Ron Howard. Russell Crowe is a superb actor who does not get enough credit for his roles. Nash was a brilliant but troubled genius whose full story is yet to be told.

If you can look well-beyond this bio-film's exaggerated sentimentality, its "schizophrenia" whitewashing, and the fact that its story was only very loosely based on the real-life genius/mathematician, John Nash, then, yes, you just might…

If you watch the movie strictly for entertainment, it's not bad. If you try to watch the movie and equate it with the book, you'll wonder why you're wasting your time.The book is very compelling and more interesting than the contrived…

A moving but harsh biopic of the great john Nash, the mathematical genius that basically pioneered game theory. It is not saccharine, but it does contain an emotional element. It focuses less on the math and more on the person, probably to…

Deeply moving and disturbing portrayal of human frailty. What appears to be a romance movie is an intense thriller for thoughtful viewers.
