Has anyone seen it? It's a biopic about Howard Hughes. he had many great achievements in his life, but had severe OCD and at the time it was considered a form of madness.
It was a shame that the film still portrayed it as madness, even though now people know that OCD is a specific condition.
Instead of showing Hughes as a man who achieved so much, it seemed to go for the dramatic 'He is a genius who's gone mad' angle. It was quite annoying, and similar to the way autistics in film and tv shows get portrayed.
