Based on a true story, A Beautiful Mind stars Russell Crowe as mathematician John Nash, who finds himself on a painful journey of self discovery.

Described as "phenomenal", the Doug Liman-directed film was a hit among critics, and it currently has a respectable score of 74% on Rotten Tomatoes from 214 reviews.
About.com said: "Director Ron Howard has created a moving masterpiece, elegantly guiding the audience through John Forbes Nash Jr.'s life."
Empire Magazine called the film "gripping", saying: "If this were fiction, it would be an example of superior storytelling, and it's certainly gripping."

"Consistently engrossing as an unusual character study and as a trip to the mysterious border-crossing between rarified brilliance and madness," penned Variety.
Entertainment Weekly said: "Russell Crowe sometimes summons up one of the most powerful depictions of mental illness I have ever seen with barely an eyelid flicker separating manifestations of sickness from utterly sane displays of creative concentration."
Not everyone shared the same enthusiasm about the film, with The Evening Standard writing: "A Beautiful Mind is not an insult to the intelligence, not quite. But it makes every effort to celebrate that uncommon faculty and at the same time play it down to the lowest common level.
A Beautiful Mind is streaming now on Prime Video.
