A recent widow (Kathleen Turner) refuses to accept a psychiatrist's (Tommy Lee Jones) diagnosis of her 6-year-old daughter's (Asha Menina) behavior.

The movie is quite easy to follow and respond to throughout–even when it furnishes us with a dream sequence...

House of Cards is all but inexplicable. It is not interesting, intelligent, plausible, thought-provoking, entertaining or necessary.

Your humble critic is no child psychiatrist, but it seems likely that, under the scrutiny of mental-health types and parents of autistic kids, such a thesis would collapse like a you know what.

Because the film is so unbelievable, it's a good thing the film feature two believable actors - Kathleen Turner and Tommy Lee Jones - that it became a bit bearable to watch.

I saw this years ago and I don't think I actively disliked it, but then again my standards were probably lower. I can forgive the weird misconceptions about autism due to the time it was made, but doubt I'd recommend it to anyone now...

Very good film that shows Autism if I recall, but also perhaps a little bit of a magical mind.
