The rage of the director can be felt in each frame and clearly shapes the pamphlet-like narrative, though the film is still a compelling examination of autism and the way the outside world tries -- and, more often, fails -- to deal with it. Go to Full Review

06/27/2015 Bittersweet movie. I am not sure about the vast expansion of pharmaceutical corporations in France. But, in America (her favorite country), it's on an endless rise - while misdiagnosed disorders are being exploited, to gain profits. I think if her family ever decided to send her to rehabilitate in the US, she would've been treated the same. From what this documentary shows, there isn't much difference in how we over medicate our disabled as well. See more 01/09/2012 Powerful and saddening documentary about a young woman who's life is decimated by mental illness and becomes more of a burden than an inspiration to family. See more 11/06/2010 Im watching now, Tell u guys later about my opinion. See more 06/02/2010 Makes you really appreciate living a life without a disability.... sad and sort of stressful. See more 02/02/2010 Great documentary. Very sad story. See more 10/23/2009 Shows you a world you didn't even know existed. Eye opening in it's honest and love. See more Read all reviews
