I coincidentally watched the movie last night. Overall, I recommend it. As a nerd, I felt they were a little bit light on the details of what his work meant.

I coincidentally watched the movie last night. Overall, I recommend it. As a nerd, I felt they were a little bit light on the details of what his work meant. Unfortunately, unlike with computer movies, they couldn't create a tangible mock-up ("this is Unix, I know this...", "I'm hacking a Gibson") so it felt like there was a vacuum in the room every time they stressed how important the contents of his notebooks were but said nothing about what they actually contained. There was also a little bit of preachiness around one character being an atheist and that being a kind of bad thing, so heads up. For a good after-movie read, someone also did a more detailed write-up of his wife's life, here: http://www.imsc.res.in/~rao/ramanujan/newnow/janaki.pdf http://www.imsc.res.in/~rao/ramanujan/newnow/janaki.pdf
