“A Brilliant Young Mind” is in many ways a British “Little Man Tate.” For those unfamiliar with “Tate,” it was Jodie Foster’s endearing, compassionate, witty 1991 film about a young boy whose genius sets him apart from others.

What a dilemma. Here’s a solid film with a fascinating story and strong characters (portrayed by equally strong actors), but I can’t give it the rave review it (almost) deserves. That praise ends up taking a back seat to the outstanding lead performance by Johnny Depp, and knocks the balance of the film out of whack. If only there were more movies with that kind of problem. But this one is, in a niggling way, bothersome.
