It is a good movie though
Goodwill Hunting and A Beautiful Mind are also good movies about math people. Not so much a documentary but rather "based on a true story" but entertaining nonetheless.
The story of maths was pretty nice. there was a documentary about grigory perelman on public tv that was also nice
Beautiful Young Minds - a documentary about a bunch of sperglords competing in the IMO
The man who knew infinity was ok, not terrible. The Imitation Game isn't as accurate, but still watchable and entertaining.
Academic films are never good. Hollywood just can't into academia as well as writers can.
>Goodwill Hunting
Fuck off and die he asked for movies about maths not some fictional snowflake entertainment bullshit.
A Beautiful Mind was ok.
Fuck off he asked for documentaries about maths not a bunch autists obsessed with doing baby practice problems really fast.
