Leave your thoughts about X+Y.
| The Big IssueEdward LawrensonGiven [that the film] is concerned with the rigid certainties of algebraic formulation, its winning formula -- mixing charm, low-key humour, on-screen chemistry and emotional delicacy -- is altogether more ineffable. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA Brilliant Young Mind doesn't fit into any familiar inspirational box. Many of its characters are complex, contrary individuals who are not even close to being comfortable in their own skins, and this film refuses to shortchange how frustratingly edgy and difficult they are to interact with. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt is a fully realized love story of rare spirit, the sort of deeply affecting film that can make you laugh until you are near tears, then drive you close to bawling. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkA confidently directed version of an underdog story that we've seen before. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanX+Y probably equals small returns at the box office. But who cares when it has the ability to multiply one's happiness tenfold? |
| FILMINK (Australia)Colin FraserX+Y is challenging, endearing, sweet, and romantic...all without breaking a sweat. |
| Mark Reviews MoviesMark DujsikThe path may be predictable, but the priorities of the screenplay by James Graham are unexpected. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe last act of A Brilliant Young Mind is undeniably moving but not entirely believable and a little too neat and clean. Still, long after you’ve seen the film, you’ll remember the wonderfully nuanced work of the cast. |
| Total FilmJames MottramWith A+ acting, a solid script and sensitive handling, there’s enough here to move even the hardest of souls. |
| The MercuryTim MartainThe emotion and humanity of the characters is so raw that at times it almost feels like a documentary. The director has honed a fine skill for profiling a character. |
