  • A Beautiful Mind -- Absorbing biography of mathematical genius John Forbes Nash, Jr. (Russell Crowe) who was afflicted with schizophrenia, but eventually triumphed over the disease with the help of his devoted wife (Jennifer Connelly), going on to win the Nobel Prize. Elegantly weaving scenes from a fine script, director Ron Howard presents a very human story of brilliance, insanity and marital love, despite the familiar trappings of an inspirational story. Intense, mature theme dealing with mental illness, a few sexual references, a scene of violence and minimal crass language and profanity. A-III -- adults. (PG-13) 2001
