A devoted daughter must face her fears as she comes to terms with the death of her father, a brilliant mathematician crippled by mental instability. How have I not heard of this film before? I absolutely loved this. Paltrow is amazing, Hopkins performance is heartbreaking, Gyllenhaal is a great compliment. I really like the out of order story-telling for this which really helps it all develop. Yes, it may have something to do with it being about a math geek and his family that I loved this, but the drama around it is what really sold it for me.
