Critics Consensus

Dramatically gripping and frighteningly smart, this Lynchian thriller does wonders with its unlikely subject and shoestring budget.

Synopsis

Darren Aronofsky's jarring black-and-white brain-bender is a haunting examination of one man's numerical obsession. The story follows a fragile number theorist who's on the trail of a 216-digit number that could unlock the secrets of the universe.
