For the non-genius movie goer, watching a film about a mathematical genius can be intimidating. After all, the character is smarter than they are, and sees things on a different level. However, when done correctly, they can still be relatable. After all, sure, the majority of audiences may not be able walk in their shoes. But the basic problems these genius’ face are the same ones everyone else tackles daily. After all basic human conditions are the same no matter how smart you are. That’s why The Julia Set works.
The thing that makes The Julia Set so relatable is the main character herself. Most of the time, genius characters look down from their lofty perch and try to help audiences see things from their level. Chase Infiniti, instead, doesn’t do that with this role. She looks up with the rest of us.
The Julia Set is a typical movie about growing up, being true to yourself, and finally leaving the nest to discover yourself. While it’s a shame that the story is the same old one we’ve seen in the past. However, you will just find yourself recognizing a lot of familiar beats to get to the same ending you’ve seen before.
The Julia Set may not be a film that gets a lot of attention, but it is one that if you watch it, you won’t complain about afterwards. It’s entertaining and fun, and really isn’t that why we watch films in the first place?
