Footnote (2012) seems like an ideal movie for people involved with academia and/or parents whose children are in similar fields of endeavor. Who else loved it?
One thing that I enjoyed about the movie is that there are some loose ends. We never figure out the significance of the extra woman. We never learn what the bigshot professor knows about the father.
[Yes, it seems that I am at least four years behind the cool kids.]
I loved it, in part because I studied on that campus. It was pretty sad though.
