"Pressure is unpredictable. It can turn coal in dust or a diamond." Pascal
I love math, but I hate subtitles, so Fermat’s Room could have gone either way for me. I absolutely loved it. The story is so compelling, and so are the characters, which is interesting because you get very little information about them. I guess that could be why they're so compelling. You don't need to understand math to be able to understand the story, yet it's an added perk for math nerds like myself. This film is a psychological thriller in the vain of Saw or Cube though more accessible (due to lack of gore). Though it is very dialogue focused, it still manages to get you onto the edge of your seat. My suggestion, definitely watch this film but with the pause button on hand. It's important that you understand what they're saying and that you see what's happening around them. The subtitles don't go too quickly, but I tend to read subtitles frantically for fear of missing something, which then causes me to miss something. It's worth catching on to all of the nuances that are included in both the script and the direction. It may extend the run-time a bit, but it will be worth it.
