A Beautiful Mind | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Jonathan Romney Independent on Sunday Ultimately the message is banal and rather repellent: brainwork wrecks your health. Feb 28, 2018 Full Review A Beautiful Mind | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Philip Kerr New Statesman Crowe is called upon to do not much more than stare solicitously at the heavens, from where inspiration duly arrives, to the accompaniment of some predictably celestial music. Oct 21, 2014 Full Review A Beautiful Mind | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Christy Lemire Associated Press A Beautiful Mind is Howard's best movie, and easily one of the best movies of the year. Feb 4, 2014 Full Review A Beautiful Mind | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Mark Johnson Awards Daily When I think of the phrase “Oscar bait,” an expression I’m honestly not fond of, Ron Howard’s A Beautiful Mind is the first movie I always think of. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review A Beautiful Mind | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Catherine Springer CathsFilmForum.com Nash's character is perfectly suited to Crowe's ability to charm and confuse at the same moment. Rated: 3/5 Jul 26, 2021 Full Review A Beautiful Mind | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Its inspirational qualities to read more about the real John Nash (and all the things omitted from this biopic) might be the only lasting effect.
