I'm not sure that the Unabomber needed a sympathetic origin story, but here we are. 2 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/09/27/u...

unlabelledView post →I'll never forget watching A Beautiful Mind (of all things) with my ex's parents. They were HORRIFIED that the film implied that John Nash had erectile dysfunction and loudly exclaimed "OH THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE" during the very sad scene when he couldn't get it on with his wife.
unlabelledView post →I saw that movie A Beautiful Mind on a nun date. It's a good movie but has a horrible message. You can be redeemed from crippling mental illness. All you need is a super beautiful lady to sacrifice her life for you.

Some of them were really good, for example the director's commentary on A Beautiful Mind was so insightful and useful when teaching high school English, film studies unit.

A Beautiful Mind is quite the film.
unlabelledView post →"A Beautiful Mind" (2001) This one hits home for me, 'cause I have schizophrenia, too. The movie helped me recognize my symptoms back in 2009, and I got the help I needed before it got as bad as depicted in the movie.

You don't get it like an Oscar and get to hold a speech on the spot. COME TF ON. I disliked the movie too, but that scene? UGH.

unlabelledView post →I enjoy that movie A Beautiful Mind. I saw it on a nun date even. But it has a terrible message. Namely, all you need to cope with and even experience triumph within mental illness is the patient and self-sacrificing accompaniments of a beautiful lady.

Shame there is no movie about Beurling. But A Beautiful Mind comes in mind depicting John Nash at deciphering - and he went crazy, right?

unlabelledView post →47. Chocolat- A confection (ha!) that looks and feels like it was shot at EuroDisney. Thankfully, the wildly over qualified cast are clearly enjoying each other’s company. 46. A Beautiful Mind- Crowe and Connelly’s work buttresses a movie that’s too slickly made and glib about its subject.

unlabelledView post →Catching up with unseen Best Pic winners like I do every year and watching ‘A Beautiful Mind’. This movie is terrible.
unlabelledView post →This is very tangential, but the math in A Beautiful Mind is actually quite bad! The movie opens with an "example" of a Nash equilibrium that's actually the complete literal opposite of one: wrong in every possible way.

unlabelledView post →Yes I’m schizo. No I don’t like being the brunt of ableist jokes. Nor do I care for the movie “A Beautiful Mind”
unlabelledView post →I would be more sympathetic to A Beautiful Mind apologia if this scene was the only crime against Nash's life and legacy in the film. I really think a better biopic could have been made with a different script and director, but maybe I am too naive? It seems nearly impossible to get a biopic right.
