The Man Who Knew Infinity (2016)

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

5/12/18. Saw this in the theater. An excellently made movie about the legendary Ramunajan, a dirt-poor brilliant math genius who just happened to have been lucky enough to be discovered and then tutored by a renown British academic, G.H. Hardy. This movie shows just how precarious genius is in a world where wealth and class (in colonial India), and how Ramunajan's contributions to mathematics could well have been lost to obscurity. Worth catching.

When I first came upon this film I was unsure if it would be any good, but I was astonished just how good this movie was. The two lead actors in the movie,Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons were incredible together. Apparently the movie took some fictional license to other parts of Ramanujan life, but essentially the important aspect of this movie, is his work with Hardy and time at trinity. The powerful aspect of this movie lies behind the facts that the theories are still being proven a century after they were first foretold

Someone on line has expressed doubts whether Ramanujan really was beaten up by soldiers, suggesting that the episode was an invention of the director and added for effect. I would tend to agree, but can anyone tell us the truth? Even if a policeman was not on his beat nearby, I would have thought that in Cambridge some public-spirited citizen would have intervened. Anyway, would Tommies on leave really have acted that way? Were there similar incidents to give credibility?

Considering the fact that I am a distant relative of the great Srinivasa Ramanujam,I really can't express extent of the justice which was done to him through this film.it is greatness like this which can is indefinable,it's a country like ours which mostly goes unrecognized owing to the great miraculous things we have achieved.this is a tale to tell and I am proud to be belonging to a country where this legend took breath.my family is very proud to have this movie about this esteemed countrymen of ours.my aunt showed me a picture of the hut he was living in,I couldn't help but breakdown considering such a genius from such simple backgrounds.always it's the people whom no one expects anything of ,who do things that no one can imagine and I am destined to live in an era of such great people.thank you God.
