Single handedly convinced me to prefer history from now on because those math tests stressed me out. He was so deep in formulas that he didnt even know how to recognize love
My dad was watching it actually and i accidentally finished

Mostly unexceptional, but they definitely nailed the sorta characters that tend to exist at math competitions

“Nathan, darling, I wish that you’d just call me. Let me know that you’re okay.”
“Why?”
“Well, because… darling, I like you more than I like ice cream.”

is on par with lady bird’s
  
“I wish that you liked me.”
“Of course I love you.”
“But do you like me?” 

honestly didn’t expect to be crying with this movie but i did. also ive loved math for years and have no clue what the fuck they’re on about.
