Elektron N @RT01456373 Sep 19 A film that touches the heart. After a long time, I discovered a good film that I didn't know before :-) See more babarizam D @RT59932316 05/26/2025 It is a beautiful film but it is challenging to watch so I watched in chunks. It is unbearable to lose someone and not knowing what to do. See more isla s @RT89656869 09/04/2022 This film has a quirky charm about it but it doesn't entirely make sense either, I felt. The plot is a bit 'fuzzy' at best and I'm not sure everything was well explained. I thought it was both quite cheesy (in a nice enough, endearing sort of a way, I guess, with a smidgen of sentimentality present) and mildly amusing at times, although I was aware it relies on stereotypes of neurodivergent people - those with autism or more specifically, aspbergers I believe. I wouldn't say its especially original but its a relatively light watch and I don't think its entirely offensive or anything...its ok, a bit entertaining now and again but not great by any means, I wouldn't go out of your way to see this, no.

I went into it with a negative attitude("I don't want to see this dumb movie!!") but came out of it with a genuinely powerful experience. I have seen this movie only once, and it has stayed with me to the point where I brought it up today as an example of excellent portrayal of autistic people by non-autistic actors. As someone who has this condition and these struggles to some extent, it was incredibly powerful to see a movie like this. What some seem to perceive as an empty feel-good crowdpleaser for non-disabled audiences was, to me, something that filled me with hope for the future and a sense that perhaps I wasn't doomed to be alone and misunderstood at a point in my life where that seemed to be the case. This movie, despite having seen it only once, had such a huge impact on my life that I can do nothing but praise it highly.

I think this movie is an overlooked underappreciated gem! See more Read all reviews
