You Have No Idea

This movie brought me to tears and made me laugh in equal doses. A beautiful portrayal of a mother seeking out answers and advocating for her son. I love that this movie shows an intimate look at the family life and doesn't shy away from the joy or the hardships.

My favorite scene is when Evan is reading the book about his father. I really felt like I got to know Evan throughout this film and he seems like a wonderful guy. I hope that everyone will see this movie because I think everyone will be better for seeing it.

Also, I cracked up when it is revealed WHY the film is called You Have No Idea. I'm not going to spoil it, you have to see for yourself.

Delves into an honest and truthful perspective of a family's journey with autism. Really well presented with reflections of how supportive and helpful this family and friends were towards this mother and son's relationship in the early years of Evan's life.

I really love how the film shows mundane moments with the family and how the mother and step father interact with the child on a day to day basis. The reveal of where the title comes from is also a favorite moment.

"'You Have No Idea' is a captivating documentary that delves deep into its subject matter. With compelling storytelling and powerful insights, this film educates and entertains. A must-watch for documentary enthusiasts!"

You Have No Idea is one of the best and sweetest movies I've ever watched! It was heartwarming, educational, and really drew you in from the moment it began. I would watch this movie over and over if I could. Beth is an amazing mother to Evan and that's so clearly seen throughout the film. Being from El Dorado, I can easily say that there is a community there like no other, and it's so heartwarming to see the community that is surrounding Evan and the James family. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in learning more about Autism or just to anyone wanting to watch a good heartwarming movie!!

Wow!! What an incredible story that shows the power of community and serves as a reminder that different does not mean broken. Both touching and humorous, I loved every minute of seeing the world through Evan's eyes.

This film will bring the tears but you still cannot escape Evan's contagious joyous energy. It leaves you feeling a sense of hope knowing there are bright stars in the world like Beth and Evan. I feel empowered to be an advocate for those that need a voice, to be more aware that every one has their own daily battles, and to offer more patience and understanding to everyone I encounter.

"You Have No Idea" is poignant, timely and raw. It lifts back the curtain and provides a loving inside look at a family in southern Arkansas and their journey with an autism diagnosis since the early 90s.

As much as the film captures raw emotions, it also shows how the family navigated the muddy waters of medical knowledge at the time and discovered things that worked for their son along the way. I think anyone who watches this will not only fall in love with Evan, but also be in awe of Beth and her advocacy for not only her son, but the other children in her community.

The film depicts the importance of community and lifelong friendships - how bringing people in to your life with openness and honesty creates a better situation for everyone.
