Goyo

Critic reviews find flaws in this satisfying exploration of love found between a working class woman, Eva, and an upper class younger man, Goyo, with Aspergers syndrome. Some may have merit, but I did not feel that there was a lack of emotional connection at all, rather that the portrayal seemed genuine. The pair are conflicted over their individual circumstances in ways that seem entirely credible.

An objection I do agree with relates to the character and story line of Eva's husband. Some development to give strength to the portrayal of his character would be appropriate, but on reflection, coming from my own non-Latin culture, Eva's choices seemed obvious. Trying to comment without spoilers, so that may seem obtuse. In short, cultures that favour machismo may give more license to the husband, but not in my world.

Goyo is well portrayed. Some reviewers found it difficult to get beyond the neuro-diverse presentation. I did not. I found both leads to be just right in their roles.

I absolutely loved this movie. I am someone what's a lot of experience with autistic people of different levels. This is heartwarming, beautiful, and accurate depiction. I could watch it again and again! A y special way to appreciate autism in all of its beautiful facets. The directors view, was exquisite. A very special, humanistic, and soulful movie that undoubtedly will touch many hearts for years to come and so all of the beautiful eccentricities inside someone who is autistic. Gives a special and maybe bird's eye view of autism that leaves a person who's watching the movie, very humbled; indeed.

I just finished watching one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Goyo takes place in Argentina. The central character is a person who is "different" from most people. While he is happy with who he is, he knows there is something very important he is missing in his life. In this remarkable film, he feels he has finally found it. The cast of characters around him, both family and friends, have their own ideas about what would be good or bad for him. It is fascinating to watch the story - his life - unfold a little at a time. That is not to say the movie is slow. Far from it. This is a classic film worthy of an oscar.

This wonderful film from Argentina features Nicholas Furtado as a young man afflicted with Asperger's syndrome. The viewer watches him, transform his character through love via a serendipitous meeting with an older woman. Goyo, the title character, not only suffers from a personality disorder, but also suffers for the dysfunction of a family, that smothers him.

The portrayal is subtle and powerful, and its ability to reveal the soul of the character he plays, is probably the strongest reason to watch this film. While eroticism is presented as well as sexuality the script writer has done so in a fashion that is sensitive and tasteful. This is a film you should put on your watchlist.

As a mom to an autistic/ I can relate to this movie . All the actors a great . It more explores what may happen with a love match between a neurodivergent and a neurotypical person . It doesn't quite try to give all the answers - it's more of a character depiction . Really enjoyed the visual effects and the lead actor embodies his role perfectly. . Loved to see a familiar Argentinian actor Pablo Rago - had not seen him in years - great to see him in the role of his brother.

If you enjoy character pieces - you will find this an enjoyable watch.

If you are seeking to tie all loose ends. This might not be for you as it's more of an exploration of the what if scenario rather than an absolute .
