A young boy is diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. He has a love for mathematics and in his teenage years he tests for a place in the Mathematics Olympiad in the course of which he learns much more about relationships and love. Indeed everyone in x+y (named elsewhere rather mundanely as 'A Brilliant Young Mind') seems to learn about love in this charming British film.
The film opens with a surprise but from thereon it follows a fairly predictable track. It is nicely acted with a gentle, low key humour.
★★★1/2
