A Beautiful Mind Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
A Beautiful Mind is Howard's best movie, and easily one of the best movies of the year.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
It's not a crime for the script to gloss over the thornier aspects of Nash's story, but the film seems totally unconvincing, squeezing a real life into a formula that's simultaneously more palatable and less interesting.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
The result is one of the most successful attempts to make math look sexy, even if the movie strays - gallops, really - from the details of the actual life of Nobel Prize-winner John Forbes Nash Jr.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman's clever solution is to turn the story of a troubled academic into a Hollywood thriller. How? He makes things up.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
It isn't the device that's so crude, but the execution, which turns Nash's persecutory demons into nuisances that won't leave us alone.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Crowe pulls out the stops, but he looks too bullish and controlled for such a pitiable victim.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
The result is mainstream moviemaking at its highest, most satisfying level.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Oscar-winning biopic is too intense for tweens.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Consistently engrossing as an unusual character study and as a trip to the mysterious border-crossing between rarified brilliance and madness.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Director Ron Howard's deftness in suggesting the subjective experience of Crowe's character, who's later diagnosed with schizophrenia, makes for inspirational narrative, but certain plot points are so reductive.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
A Beautiful Mind is not about ideas per se, but about the experience of living in a world defined by ideas.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
A light veneer of condescension hangs over A Beautiful Mind.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
The kind of movie that makes you wish they'd just do away with the Oscars altogether, A Beautiful Mind is as tasteful as a dentist's office, and about as exciting.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It makes you understand what it feels like to have a serious breakdown in powerful, empathetic ways that no movie has ever done before.
Observer
Rex Reed
Nash's subterranean nightmare takes on the gripping elements of a psychological thriller.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
As strong a performance as Russell Crowe has ever delivered.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
As bold and searingly imaginative as it is substantive.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Crowe and Connelly's work rises above the mush.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Like a good college education itself, A Beautiful Mind broadens your perspective on life.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
You can practically feel director Ron Howard standing over your tear ducts, straining to extract every last salty drop.
