Full Plot Details

In the 1910s, Srinivasa Ramanujan is a man of boundless intelligence that even the abject poverty of his home in Madras, India, cannot crush. Eventually, his stellar intelligence in mathematics and his boundless confidence in both attract the attention of the noted British mathematics professor, G.H. Hardy, who invites him to further develop his computations at Trinity College at Cambridge. Forced to leave his young wife, Janaki, behind, Ramanujan finds himself in a land where both his largely intuitive mathematical theories and his cultural values run headlong into both the stringent academic requirements of his school and mentor and the prejudiced realities of a Britain heading into World War One. Facing this with a family back home determined to keep him from his wife and his own declining health, Ramanujan joins with Hardy in a mutual struggle that would define Ramanujan as one of India's greatest modern scholars who broke more than one barrier in his worlds.

Movie Reviews

The New Paper (Singapore) - 10/10 by Lisa TwangThere is something almost spiritual about this film that makes it more than just a maths biopic.
Georgia Straight - 10/10 by Ken EisnerTheir dialogue sometimes feels forced, but the movie comes alive whenever the screen yields to Irons and his pained dissections of life's elusive formulations.
The Public (Buffalo) - 10/10 by M. FaustYou can't help but wish that writer-director Matthew Brown had been able to find some way to impart to viewers the nature of Ramanujan's importance other than having his Trinity College sponsor (Jeremy Irons) rhapsodize about his brilliance.
ABC Radio Brisbane - 9/10 by Matthew ToomeyPatel and Irons both give strong performances but the arguments between their respective characters become repetitive.
honeycuttshollywood.com - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttMatthew Brown does a fine job of cutting through the math chat to give you the living, breathing men who collaborated and clashed a century ago.
AV Club - 9/10 by Katie RifeThis is the very definition of the kind of movie people complain that “they” don’t make anymore: a modestly budgeted, character-driven drama for adults that doesn’t insult the viewer’s intelligence or lean on shock value.
Cinemalogue.com - 9/10 by Todd JorgensonHe's got such a beautiful mind, yet the film never gets sufficiently inside his head.
New Yorker - 9/10 by Anthony LaneThe Man Who Knew Infinity, based on Kanigel’s book, and directed by Matthew Brown, feels sluggish and stuck, and it hits an insoluble crux.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 9/10 by Calvin WilsonThe multiplexes are full of films that promise little more than a forgettable good time. The Man Who Knew Infinity is just as entertaining, but far more substantial.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com - 9/10 by Cary Darling[It] takes an incredible true story - about an impoverished Indian man whose Jedi math skills helped him triumph over race, class and bad food in early 20th century England - and telescopes it into a well-made yet predictable tale of inspiration.
