X+Y (2015)

Good concept, poorly executed.

A Brilliant Conflict

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

(Flash Review)An honest look of life through the eyes of a socially awkward, mathematics wiz. This young boy is found to have highly advanced aptitude with numbers which offset his social interaction abilities. Over a few years, he is taught by a former math genius who has MS and is trying to help his pupil get into a world-wide Math Olympics before his body fails him. While the film is fairly light on math, considering the subject, it focuses more on this boys relationships with his mother, teacher, female interest, other math teammates as well as gaining his personal confidence all from the perspective of a person that may have some level of Aspergers. The film engineered many scenarios for the boy to interact socially and how his personality matured and grew. He almost takes comfort and hides under numbers to avoid human interactions so in the end will he be able to uncloak himself from numbers and enhance his human relationships? The cinematography was stellar and this subject was able to generate true tension at times. A noble storytelling effort.

This movie is about a child who is autistic but has a unique interest in maths. The ending of this movie takes a drastic change that we would have never thought of. I can say that Asa Butterfield did a great job acting as an autistic child but I don't think I can say the same for Rafe Spalls who is his teacher. The story also needed a bit more polishing I think. In all the movie is good and is definitely watchable.

This is one of my worst movies that i have ever seen in my life and i recommend the same to all of you please don't waste your time is this bullshit movie.firstly the character of the person is not good and totally pathetic.he wanted to be an Olympiadian but then suddenly at the last he changes his mind and the whole drama do not make an sense. I totally recommend you not to waste time on this type of movies. I am never going to see the drama movie again bullshit!!!

It's a film about a teenage boy who's not quite like everyone else, I believe autism was the diagnosis he was given.He does not communicate very well but is beyond smart, I am not a very good communicator myself so I can most definitely relate to that and there are some scenes that get genuinely emotional for me (and anyone else I imagine with half a heart).Perhaps I'd wish for a more complete ending but maybe that would been a little too Hollywoodesque and this is after all a movie that is very much rooted in reality so it made sense I suppose to end it the way they did.7.5/10.
