A Beautiful Mind (Ron Howard, 2001)

8/10
Good movie. Flawed, but good. And Russell Crowe was great (how he lost Best Actor to Denzel Washington for Training Day is absolutely incomprehensible). The movie is too long though and the pacing is stilted, particularly in the first hour which can be something of a chore to get through. There are also a few detours into unbearably mawkish moments that are pure Oscar baiting, but once it picks up, its hard not to be fascinated.
