Do Something, Jake

This charming indie film delivers a very uniquely British experience. Jake is the autistic guy bogged down by the unrealistic expectations of an intolerant society.

The film draws on obsessive aspects of his condition that allow him to solve the mystery in his own special way.

There are a number of comic set pieces that work extremely well but there is also a fine slow build that richly develops the relationships between Jake and the supporting characters.

It is not a stereotypical and delivers exactly what you would want from an "indie" film. It is heartwarming and refreshing and proves at the end of the day a good film is defined by an effective story not by millions of pounds spent on special effects.
