By applying restraint where so many filmmakers would be tempted to go for big character moments and broiling melodrama, writer/director Matt Brown delivers a solid, entertaining biopic that has been doomed to sharing an opening weekend with the year's biggest blockbuster (I'm referring, of course, to The Meddler). Outside of the films of James Gray we rarely get a drama without overt theatrics or narrative shock value, and while The Man Who Knew Infinity lacks the visual warmth of something like The Immigrant, it delivers on the same dramatic genuineness.
