Year: 2006

Simon (John Hurt and Judith Messerman (Rita Wilson) are progressive parents who want nothing but the best for their two boys Clive (David Call) and William (Brett Davern). A highly-intelligent math prodigy whose seems set to claim the top prize at the upcoming mathmatics competition, troubled Clive frequently disconnects from his doting parents by speaking in a made-up language that nobody but himself can understand. William, on the other hand, is just trying to get by as he struggles to work his way out from under the formidable shadow cast by his older sibling. When Clive's provocative girlfriend Sandra (Michelle Trachtenberg enters into the equation harboring a decidedly sensitive secret, the tempestuous relationship between the two brothers will soon put to the ultimate test. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Body: Interesting adaptation of the novel Batorsag & Szerelem - Chad Lowe and Hilary Swank's attempt at capturing the shifting mores in Middle America in the 1970's. Infused with a solid ensemble cast, Beautiful Ohio is a simple drama following a family of intellectuals marveling in the genius of their eldest son and neglecting their youngest offspring that is painfully average. Speaking with his friends in a mysterious language and rebuffing his parents, Clive is an enigma that William is desperate to decipher in order to gain a favorable position in the eyes of his parents that are equally perplexed by him. Sadly, the film falters at its abrupt climax and unexpectedly ends without an appropriate conclusion to the affecting drama that was steadily built over the course of the film.
