05/28/2015 The story of two brothers (one autistic) who are wrestling with their family history is a profoundly moving tale of fathers, sons, and overcoming the mistakes of you parents. It’s one of the greatest existential docs I’ve ever seen that is both inspiringly funny yet soberingly honest.

The film is narrated by brother Tom and provides a detailed account of the family history including specific anecdotes which are both funny and sad as well as details about the educational services Chris received. It tells the story of the family's journey taking care of and helping Chris to become a sweet natured and talented adult on the spectrum. The story is both heartwarming and heartbreaking but ultimately hopeful. Although the narration can be rather wordy, the message is clear and the film provides a glimpse into the lives of the members of this family as they raise their child to become a functional adult in society.
