The Genius Club was indeed a good movie but the question is "will it stand the test of time?". Yes, I believe. The performances are admirable and the writing is very good but I also loved the THEME.
As for the movie, it's a film that is probably going to appeal to you more if you know a lot about world issues or are not well-studied. This means that younger folks who didn't live through and remember the 1980s will get less out of it unless they know their history well. As for me, I'm a retired history teacher, so even if I was only a kid when Vietman, Nixon, etc, If you are fuzzy on world issues, reading through Wikipedia or another website wouldn't hurt.
The director is a Harvard alum which really shows why this film didn't do well at the box office or ratings. No one can understand true genius....
