“With A+ acting, a solid script and sensitive handling, there's enough here to move even the hardest of souls”~James Mottram, Total Film

Aroview: Asa Butterfield (HUGO) plays a socially awkward teenage math prodigy who finds new confidence and new friendships when he lands a spot on the British squad at the International Mathematics Olympiad in Taipei.

Nicely acted by the young ensemble who play a range of variously "gifted" characters, and also from the seasoned Eddie Marsan and Sally Hawkins, with emotional impact heightened by the noticeably graceful score.
