babarizam D @RT59932316 May 31 Heart Warming, thoughtful movie. See more Andrea K @RT04713729 12/12/2024 I loved this. It is a quintessentially Canadian film, both in performance and cinematography so I was pleasantly surprised to see such a stellar cast from a variety of countries and backgrounds in this. Alan Rickman is sublime and Sigourney Weaver delivers a powerful performance as high functioning autistic woman. Dr. Temple Grandin was a consultant on this film, and it shows. Weaver's characterization isn't over the top, but instead offers subtle moments of candour. In one scene she delivers a beautiful soliloquy during a game of scrabble. I highly recommend this film for those who dearly miss Alan Rickman. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. 11/07/2024 If you didn't like this movie there is something wrong with you. Rickman is fantastic. See more Martha P @RT58914110 07/29/2024 Even a great cast of Rickman, Weaver, and Moss (who really has only one color in her acting palette but the camera loves her) can't save this embarrassment of a film. Lord knows they tried. But if the storyline is implausible, the writing is bad, the characters are undeveloped, and the directing amateurish, then even well-seasoned, skilled performers can't save a train wreck. I finally had to turn it off out of respect for Rickman and the great work he's usually associated with. See more Brian K @Briankeith3 09/08/2023 A very Canadian movie -- it's slow, small in scope, and nothing much happens. However, this picture has a good heart at it center, the characters and situations are (mostly) authentic, and the acting is good*. *Ms. Weaver sometimes over-acts, and Mr. Rickman is somewhat flat at times, but this is mostly attributable to the screenplay. The supporting actors are all very good, including Ms. Moss. See more Aaron S @RT79746728 12/07/2022 Interesting small indie from 06. Weaver and Rickman's interactions are definitely the selling point and the script does a great job capturing an authentic relationship between a person with autism and someone without it. It is a bit slight though and never rises above the expansive sea of average mid aughts dramedies. See more Read all reviews
