Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 6.4 out of 10 from audiences and a box office loss, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved The Father or Pi, start here.
The mood
Tense, emotional (bring tissues).
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13: a parent's death or loss. Probably too much for younger kids.

Catherine is a woman in her late twenties who is strongly devoted to her father, Robert, a brilliant and well-known mathematician whose grip on reality is beginning to slip away. As Robert descends into madness, Catherine begins to wonder if she may have inherited her father's mental illness along with his mathematical genius.
