Movie Haiku:Few films have succeeded in depicting the life of the mind, but this one’s a double-whammy propelled by Crowe’s electric performance as a Nobel Prize winning mathematician suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. Howard finds powerful ways to communicate both genius and madness, with passionate support from Connelly as Crowe’s anchor.
