Infinity

About This Movie

Infinity (1996) is an interesting dive into the life of Richard Feynman, capturing the essence of his brilliance and personal struggles. Directed by Matthew Broderick, who also stars as Feynman, it has this subdued yet engaging vibe. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the emotional weight of Feynman’s relationships, especially with his wife, Arline. The film has a kind of understated charm, relying more on character development than flashy effects—though there are some neat practical displays of Feynman’s physics ideas. Performances are solid, with Broderick bringing a warm intensity to his role. It’s a thoughtful exploration of intellect and love, which makes it unique in the biopic genre.
