Drama In a world difficult to comprehend, Nathan struggles to connect with those around him - least of all his loving mother - but finds comfort in numbers. When Nathan is taken under the wing of unconventional and anarchic teacher, Mr. Humphreys, the pair forge an unusual friendship and Nathan's talents win him a place on the UK team at the International Mathematics Olympiad in Taipei.

	Media	Author	Review
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A Brilliant Young Mind' is not the film you think it is. It's better"
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"This warm, robust movie ultimately transcends the formulas with which it flirts to become a far more subtle and honest result than a machine-tooled tear-jerker like 'The Theory of Everything.'"
		Joe Leydon Variety	"Matthews’ background as a documentarian is obvious and beneficial. But Matthews also demonstrates expertise as a director of actors, getting creditable performances across the board"
