Both an impeccable character study of quirky, talented young people, and a plea to invest in education and the next generation. Entertaining throughout, wonderful choice of subjects, and a heart of gold.
Great movie for multi-generational viewing - entertaining and funny for adults, and a great message for younger audiences without being too "teachy". Also an important message on the power of immigrants and diverse voices to push our society forward.
Heartily recommend for those in all walks of life, science-nerd or not.
