Audience Member It's a very good depiction of how parents can misunderstand what autism really is; even though the story happened a long time ago, to this day there are parents who see their autistic child as less of a person, without any personality and/or feelings and suffocate them throughout their lives instead of providing support for them to be autonomous beings. I wish every autistic child had a sister like Franny.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This had some very fine performances and a sensitive treatment of the premise. There was a little too much going on for ninety minutes--and, deeply as I adore Teresa Stratas, it almost seemed like she needed her own movie. But the premise was interesting and is not often treated with such seriousness. I especially apprecated that it was not (Stratas notwithstanding) a thoroughgoing emotional potboiler.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member In this powerful story of two sisters caught under the domineering authority of their self-absorbed mother, Megan Follows performance as an autistic woman was absolutely brilliant and nuanced in detail and accuracy. Amanda Plummer portrayed her strong and caring sister in an equally fascinating performance. Together both performances override the plot of the film and it can be classified as a chick flick.
