Audience Member Enjoyable film but I felt it was a copy of the Rain Man character but nowhere near in the same league. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Odd film. A sort of road movie for the odds. It's a road movie where a couple forms unwittingly, and kind of reluctantly discovers they are much better together than when they were not. Intelligence is somewhat redefined by our two characters. Both have strength and weaknesses that very much complete the other. I don't know autism, but this film seems to depict one autistic guy relatively well. I don't know beaten bi... heu, girl, well, but this film seems to depict one beaten one relatively well. I think the acting was pretty good and the story was making enough sense. Some beating were good for the english karma and there was a gun, for it is in the USA. This was very interesting. Like a film about aliens trying to adapt instead of invading. Like ET! And they found a home. Aaaaawh. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting and enjoyable story, but, seemed incomplete with an abrupt ending Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie. Just like toy makers aren't children, critics aren't audiences. Every audience member who saw it liked it, so go with the audience reviews. It started a little slow and Willis' acting was just a little stilted at first, but not for long. She relaxed into her role and was doing wonderfully by about 20 minutes in. Chris Marquette was just stunning, I loved him so much. As one other reviewer said, his performance just made me want to cry he was so heartbreakingly real. A great, lovely, soft movie about how your family is not always the people you were born to but often those you meet along the way. I recommend this movie heartily. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Totally compelling performances by Willis and Marquette.A simple picture in its relative narrative made multi faceted by the baggage each of the leads brings forth in the characters they play.A must watch for sure. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm fairly confused by the mixed reviews from the critics. It's true that Rain Man is the quintessential movie on autism, but The Odd Way Home isn't trying to do the same work of that movie. It tells the story of two people who become family to each other, after being abandoned in very different ways by their own loved ones. The landscape is stunning, Chris Marquette will make you cry. Families of people with Autism have whole-heartedly supported this movie. See it and be moved. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
