Plot
A janitor at MIT with an extraordinary gift for mathematics is helped by a therapist to face his past.
Sinekatalog’s take
A janitor who is a maths genius meets a therapist who sees through him. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's script is warm and talky, and Robin Williams gives a gentle, Oscar-winning performance.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
