The touching and heartwarming drama inspired by true events is officially Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The story follows the unconventional and often humorous relationship between a student and his teacher. In many ways Nathan, the student played by Asa Butterfield, reveals life changing lessons to his teacher Martin Humphreys played by Rafe Spall. Sally Hawkins plays the role of Nathan\u2019s mother Julie and there\u2019s not a second that goes by where you\u2019re not convinced this mother would do anything to give her child the life and opportunities that he deserves.<\/p>\n<p>With a balanced mix of drama and comedy, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Brilliant-Young-Mind-Rafe-Spall\/dp\/B0159OSRNI\/?tag=sphe-abym-beliefn-editorial-20\">A Brilliant Young Mind<\/a> tugs at your heart strings while providing the audience inspiration to fuel their own journey. It\u2019s a story that reveals the spirit of love and shows it\u2019s presence without the superficial clich\u00e9s that are usually imposed.<\/p>\n<p>Critics worldwide are raving about the film. Ty Burr from the Boston Globe said, \u201cParents and teachers of all the Nathans out there may be inclined to give \u201cA Brilliant Young Mind\u201d the full four stars; for the rest of us, it\u2019s small, smart, and satisfying.\u201d Richard Roeper from the Chicago Sun-Times added, \u201cLong after you\u2019ve seen the film, you\u2019ll remember the wonderfully nuanced work of the cast, particularly Ms. Hawkins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Brilliant Young Mind will fill your soul and allow you to watch how one person\u2019s journey can inspire and change the lives of others. Families will listen a little longer and squeeze their loved ones a little tighter because Nathan\u2019s genuine desire to be more is contagious and his mother\u2019s sincere devotion forces others to look within and test themselves.<\/p>\n<p>J. R. Jones from the Chicago Reader said, \u201cA strong cast elevates this sweet British drama.\u201d And Jones couldn\u2019t me more right. Asa Butterfield, Eddie Marsan, Rafe Spall, Sally Hawkins, Martin McCann and Jo Yang have a great deal of chemistry that is indescribably brilliant. Not only does the film offer a poignant story line it also sends a message of love, life and devotion that no one should miss.<\/p>\n<p><em>For an exclusive Q &amp;A with the producer watch <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=of9oU0kejpE&amp;feature=youtu.be\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Critically acclaimed film A Brilliant Young Mind is available on DVD and Digital.
