My review · Reviewed 02/21/2023

I have to admit that I didn't follow all of the conversation in regards to math and faith. I think I got what they were saying... at times it seemed like the debates went on needlessly. What I found really interesting about this movie is that despite all of the intellectual banter between the two leads the movie ultimately boiled down to fairly childish interactions between them when it came to their emotions. Also, the female lead has unbelievable charisma. I really enjoyed every scene that she was in.
