Stephen Romei The Australian This is worthwhile film-making and the performances are solid, but there's too much reliance on the schmaltz factor, especially towards the end. It will be interesting to see what the young actor Fitzgerald does next. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times A film that nevertheless deserves to be seen and discussed. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Katie Walsh Tribune News Service a heartfelt, humorous and sometimes harrowing yarn. Rated: 3/4 Jun 1, 2024 Full Review Gisela Savdie El Heraldo This is a deeply human film that invites reflection on the experience of families facing mental health issues. Moreover, it highlights the importance of accepting diversity instead of trying to change others. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review <I>Ezra</I> does have two things that make it worth recommending: its excellent cast and its raw emotion. Rated: B- Nov 18, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider It warms our hearts a little bit, sure, but its insights are muddled and ultimately banal. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Robert B Sweet, simple movie held together by fine acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Kathryn You must watch this movie. Great acting and eye opening movie regarding people on the Spectrum. I learned a few things about autism. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Guy J P very slow until ending which was heartwarming Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review PAMELA D Every co-star here is amazing, especially Robert DeNiro. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Marilee We loved this movie and highly recommend it. We thought all of the actors did a great job. We liked the focus on the relationships between these characters and that they were not always nice and neat. The filmed did a very good job of showing conflict between characters and the struggles people have to understand a neuro-divergent population. Two thumbs up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Lois A great movie with a wonderful messsge! Heart warming story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
