Leave your thoughts about Me & Isaac Newton.
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsFor the layperson, it removes the veil from the field of science and allows us to see scientists as driven, passionate, striving people we can relate to. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerAn inspirational documentary that treats thinkers (so often the villains of our entertainments) as heroes. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardDespite its ultimate lack of intellectual substance, Me and Isaac Newton is still inspiring. All seven of its subjects are fascinating, and most are extremely likable. Mr. Apted has done them all a huge favor. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAn elegant and rather even-tempered documentary. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrHey, kids! Skip the job fairs and go directly to a screening of Me & Isaac Newton. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoYou don't have to be a chem-lab wonk to be seduced by the seven scientists who discuss their work and lives in this engaging film. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaThe real problem with the film is its overall structure, which places all the scientists into a narrative mold of Apted's making. |
| User ReviewGreg Wgood doc from the director of the 'seven-up" series |
