I watched Fermat's room mainly due to my math teacher's recommendation. Truthfully speaking, he has every reasons to be more apt as a math teach, not a film critic.
There isn't much to say about the plot. An aged mathematician becomes indignant of the proof of Goldbach's conjecture by a younger one, rendering all his work then meaningless. The ensuing indignation fuels him to contrive a plan that would kill the young one with no trace left behind.
I don't have a strong liking for it, not a dislike. Some details are clever and are handled ingeniously, namely the logical order of events, the validity of math riddles, the intertwined stories of four participants that each one holds dearly to. Yet, little does it have an impression or impact on the audience.
