Neurodivergent R "Magnetosphere" is a captivating and creative tale that portrays synesthesia through a NeuroDiversity-affirming lens. The movie gives viewers a chance to see the world through Maggie's eyes (a synesthete who experiences a world where sounds have vibrant colors and emotions take on unique shapes). It is a heartwarming and funny family-friendly coming-of-age story. The characters in the film are relatable and easy to connect with. If you've ever felt a bit out of sync with the world, this movie wraps around you like a comforting hug. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review NoBS B The concept was good, as opportunities to broaden a viewer’s understanding and awareness of differences is a good thing. Unfortunately, the writing was not great and some of the acting was stilted and not believable. It reminded me a bit of a 70’s series like Brady bunch Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Matthew Z This is a powerful and honest movie that explores a really personal neurodivergent journey without trivializing it or pandering. I thought that the cast was really and balanced the humor and emotional beats with authenticity. It's a great film to share with the neurodivergent people in your life (or if you just like awesome light/sound editing). Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Melanie B I just learned this year that I have synesthesia, and Maggie's story made me feel seen. The coming-of-age aspects are on point and accurate to the time the story is set. The characters' stories are subtly and sensitively rendered, and the visuals are gorgeous. Highly recommended! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Ab L In this thoughtful, provoking and funny movie, you "see" the world through technicolor glasses. The emotional, dramatic moments are balanced by some great, occasionally slightly dark, comedy. A strong cast, performing a strong story, given character-centered direction all make a relatively unknown condition very relatable. Teen angst, family dynamics, and neighborhood hijinks are a worthy combination. Break out the popcorn and prepare to have a great movie night. (Buy extra popcorn; you'll want to watch it again.)

If you’ve ever felt like the world was tuned to a frequency only you could hear, this movie will feel like home." Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
