| | Guardian Unlimited Film Reviews A Beautiful Mind |
 | | A Beautiful Mind's view of schizophrenia subscribes unhesitatingly to the Stephen Hawking idea of disability: it is all right as long as it betokens some great mental or spiritual superiority. |
 | | As portrayed by Russell Crowe, Nash may be a hollow-eyed, unshaven, gibbering, briefcase-hugging, equation-chalking nutter, but by golly he's a red-blooded heterosexual nutter, with a beautiful wife played by Jennifer Connelly. |
 | | It is also a gruesome example of the lie-opic, or lie-ography, in that it coyly excises the gay episodes in the real Nash's life - in particular his arrest for importuning in a public lavatory. |
