Jo W A very well done representation of a certain kind of tourette syndrome. What makes it well done is that it addresses the hardship and real life challenges of being different. The main character's endless chirping and barking also gives the watcher an experience of that 'annoyance' first hand in way. It allows the supportive characters in the story to also be annoyed as well. They also touch on another difficult subject, which is cancer, and while it's a brief visit through the movie, I really like how they normalize the experience. To those that have not experienced that personally, it might seem weird, but I thought they did a magnificent job of addressing illness. Of course, in reality, if someone loses someone to illness, often that segment of friends is not so supportive, but who wants to watch people be awful. This movie touches enough of the unfortunate responses to disease, while also sending an inspiring message of perseverance and hope. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie I might just be sensitive but it's a tear jerker in my opinion so many valuable lessons were also taught in this movie It is very inspiring.
