      Susan Rose G This was an amazing story. A beautifully done movie. It is hard to find a story that is so well done, and this must of been hard to get made into a movie since the subject matter is not your typical Hollywood material, but thankfully it was made. I cried, I laughed, and I lived through a part of my past again with the help of this touching but exceptionally well done movie. It allowed me to walk through Charlies experience without having to explain it. When you live through some of life's less glamours moments, and grow because of it, it is like a miracle to find a movie that helps you feel it and remember it all over again, knowing your life has meaning. That is what this movie did for me. I hope it does that for you too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A well acted movie about the consequences of bullying, regret, reconciliation, and absolution. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a peek into the lives of parents struggling to do what's best for their child with autism. It highlights how vulnerable we can be, and yet how open to growth and love and healing. Language Arts is my FAVORITE movie right now!
