Love and Communication offers a nuanced story about an average couple navigating their child’s autism diagnosis. They are by no means perfect, but they are able to learn together in order to provide for their son.

Kudos to Christy for tackling tough issues, by, as the slogan goes, enabling autism to speak.

Thanks to smart writing and compelling performances, the film offers a sincere, sometimes uncomfortable, and always honest portrait of what it takes to advocate for your child in a world full of uncertainty.

I very much enjoyed this movie. The topic is heavy, for sure, but I appreciated how the movie portrays how "normal" the parents are, with their strengths and weaknesses, hope and despair, convictions and hesitations, ups and downs, successes and blunders. Their sheer humanity, really. Autism sucks but life marches on, blemishes and all.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
