Friday 13–Thursday 26 March, 2015
Nathan (Asa Butterfield) has always been socially awkward, finding solace in the rational purity of mathematics. After encouragement from his tutor Mr Humphreys (Rafe Spall) and his loving mother Julie (Sally Hawkins), he lands a spot on the British team for the International Mathematics Olympiad. A training trip to Taiwan is the beginning of an incredible journey as Nathan discovers friends, a new-found sense of confidence and learns that there may be more to life than prime numbers. Understated, beautifully acted and completely wonderful.
Director Morgan Matthews attended the Scottish Premiere of X+Y at Glasgow Film Festival. Watch the Q&A with Matthews, and see photos from the event on our festival blog
