Elijah R @RT98522975 Nov 8 I love this movie!!! It is silly at times and super entertaining. The insanity of working with a broken system that is keep the father away from his family is so heartfelt and makes me really root for Sam. Sam is such a great character you can really feel his emotion and his struggles. This is a movie you can watch multiple times as it really is a charming warm film. Bravo!!

Great job See more Jacqueline T @RT93402366 Aug 27 This movie was great! I don't have a reaction like this often and it's because I found a lot of intelligence and creativity in this motion picture. In fact, the last movie I said this about was the 1998 thriller "Shattered Image" (which also starred William Baldwin). "BitterSweet" has a lot to offer for the viewer and I'll explain what this means. The screenwriter, actor, and director of the movie (Steven Martini) has a true gift in filmmaking. To reiterate what I wrote on his X account, his perfectly delivered comedy, creativity, and even camera style (that enabled us to feel what Sam was experiencing) provided a great way to raise awareness of people who are neurodivergent. It also highlighted how those with autism can be misunderstood in society. But this is not a documentary! "BitterSweet" is a dramatic comedy that is perfectly timed, engaging, and refreshing to watch. And I absolutely love how the gynocentrism in society was highlighted in this film. (One example was state-mandated therapy for men being orchestrated by women.) And the empowering speech given by William Baldwin's character Zeke Zimmerman was beyond memorable. It was so based and the best speech I've ever heard on modern women and Men's Rights. In short, whatever your views are, this movie shines an important light on individuals who are neurodivergent and how the American system often overlooks the suffering and struggles—not only of men—but people who are autistic.

Steve is absolutely charming, relatable & ridiculous and the wife, Gigi, is the perfect calm to his storm. Loved her performance. Kudos to everyone for putting out such a thoroughly entertaining movie and hero to cheer for!

It balances humor and emotion beautifully, with touching performances and a story that feels both real and uplifting. A quiet gem that stays with you. See more Theo B @RT95729341 07/11/2025 A timely, heartfelt, surprisingly relevant comedy perfectly suited for our modern world. What a gem of a film. When I heard this was an “autistic love story” I didn’t know what to expect. Not only does it humanize the many struggles autistic adults often experience, but it does so with a whacky playful humor that carries the story beautifully. 

 This is unique movie. It’s both a comedy about relationships and a serious reflection on the nature of neurodivergence and personal autonomy. And there’s a bit of “woke” humor in there too that is both tasteful and transcends political boundaries. In short, I loved this film so much I had to write a review. This is a great movie for friends or couples or families, or any person who sees the world differently and wants assurance that they’re not alone. A fun, slightly absurd comedy that opens the heart and opens up many opportunities for deeper conversations. Highly recommended. See more Read all reviews
