Elena T @RT36040899 May 24 I just watched this movie and I can only speak badly about it. Sensorially, it is absolutely disgusting. If you have oversensitivities, you will get sick after a couple of minutes. I goy anxiety directly. How is it possible that a movie on autism is made so hostile for highly sensitive people?! Increadibly stupid. Moreover, it doesn’t convey much knowledge about autism itself. It focus on the experience of a person who was non verbal, which is a very small part of the spectrum. I really don’t recommend it if you want to understand autism broadly and, if you are in the spectrum or just highly sensitive, it will make you feel truly sick. I have seen other reviews saying the same, unfortunately, after I paid for watching the movie. Totally unfortunate. I don’t understand who the director was aiming to address but certainly not neurodivergent people with sensitivities. See more Y. S @RT83999107 01/27/2023 ABSOLUTE MUST SEE as a human being!

Its a very colourful film, in terms of the bright colours shown on screen (not referring to strong language, its safe to say). I liked the sense of hope it conveys - we could all do with feeling more hope at the moment. I would definitely recommend this film if your interested in what it's like to be a non verbal autistic person, yes. See more 06/09/2022 Beautiful and eye-opening, a must watch!

The sound design makes beautiful connections between pictures and unexpected sounds, making it a sensory experience, especially in dolby atmos. the story seemed to be a bit cliché at times, showing mostly the easy and good things. it still was very touching and emotional and i really felt connected with the 5 characters. it seemed as if they tried to not overwhelm the viewer with sound and pictures, even though they were saying that the world can be quite very overwhelming to people with autism. i feel like i have a better understanding of autism with a less prejudiced view after seeing the movie.

Wife: It's fine, I didn't like it as much because I already knew so much about this topic.  It's a fine film and very educational.  Hubby: 9.8/Wife: 7 Average: 8.4/10 See more Read all reviews
