Goyo

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 .

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.

The best line of the movie was have you ever been with someone? And they listed all the characteristics of someone that everyone wants in a perfect companion.

And that person is so different from what we think is a normal person, just because they are unusual. The movie is a perfect depiction of how we cannot see how perfect people different from us can really be. It touched my heart because I met such a person and dismissed them because I was worried what someone else might think.

I still think of them years later and what i may have missed, if only I had not been pressured by society to not accept the perfect gift in front of me.

A truly gentle and wonderful human.

Beautiful. One of beautiful films for who is unfair to look for explanations. Sure, the themes, the acting, the humor, the atmosphere, the chararters, the splendid house.

But, especialy , for realism. The great virtue of Nancy Duplaa performance is to offer the portrait of Eva who you know very well from near reality.

The admirable work of Nicolas Furtado is to propose a familiar silhouette, to, not only reduced at Asperger circle.

The essential character is the family and the conection between its members , the indivitualities, the vulnerabilities and doses of selfishness and generosity.

In short, beautiful to great.
