    I loved it!

    This is a beautiful movie! If you have a child with Autism, if you know a child with Autism, if you know someone who knows someone with Autism this is a must see movie! It gives a clear view into a world that many of us know too little about. The movie was beautifully shot and I can't get over how Julian Feder just nailed it playing a child with Autism. This is a movie that can make a difference in a lot of peoples lives!
