The Man Who Knew Infinity saddens me. Jeremy Irons and Dev Patel are given very little to work with, whilst trapped in the movie's repetitive narrative. Ramanujan wants to publish his papers, but Hardy refuses to publish until they have further proof, and so it goes. The one time the movie's heart has an audible thump is as the two of them try to provide Ramanujan's equations proof. Working together to solve mathematical obstacles. This should be the focus of the movie, but instead, we waste our time on this lukewarm character drama. My only guess as to why they didn't delve deeper into the mathematics, is because the studio thought it would bore the audience to tears. However, its exclusion had only the opposite effect. There is nothing abhorrently bad about the movie, but nothing engaging either.
