As a father of a non-verbal, wheelchair-bound child with cerebral palsy who uses an AAC device with a joystick as his primary voice, "Out of My Mind" resonated with me deeply. The film captures the day-to-day realities of families like ours with incredible authenticity. Several scenes hit home, especially the one where the motivating teacher encourages the parents to allow their child to attend regular classes. As protective parents, we've been there, reluctant to embrace change for our child's sake. The moment in the film where the child gazes out the window, leaning toward the floor, mirrored our own child's behavior in such an emotional way.

Another touching moment was when the father tries to get other kids to include his child in their play, and the child walks away without showing sadness, simply moving on to another activity. This quiet resilience is something we witness with our own kid every day. The film also beautifully shows how the child processes thoughts, forming sentences through single words and pictures-just like my child does with his AAC device.

The scene where the father cries hearing his child speak for the first time through the AAC device was so familiar to me. I've lived that exact moment, and watching it unfold on screen brought all those emotions flooding back. It's a moment of pure joy and relief. There's also a small but significant moment that shows how families like ours adapt to the world-like when other kids' parents put down cardboard to protect their floors. It reminded us of how we, too, make sure to wipe our child's wheelchair wheels before entering a friend's house to avoid soiling their carpets.

The film also highlights how others sometimes misunderstand or make awkward comments, such as asking if the child is okay when they're laughing-something many of us with children with CP are all too familiar with.

But above all, the film beautifully depicts how, no matter the challenges we face, everything is brighter when our child smiles. The joy that my kid's smile brings to my heart is immeasurable. It reminds me that, despite the struggles, everything is okay. Out of My Mind captures the strength, resilience, and love of children with disabilities and their families in such a heartfelt, truthful way.

I wholeheartedly give it a 10/10-star rating.

Just watched the recap during season 2, episode 1, and it's absolutely incredible! The way they retold season 1 events while weaving in deeper backstories was brilliant. These added layers provide much-needed context to the prequels and enhance the overall narrative. The storytelling feels fresh and innovative, seamlessly transitioning between past and present while keeping the suspense alive. It's the perfect way to set the tone for the new season.

I'm already hooked and can't wait to see how the story unfolds from here.

An outstanding start to what promises to be an exciting season!

Looking forward to it.

Dope it is.

I've never read the novel said or watched the original spanish version wateva.

Mainly, I liked it, because Netflix hasn't got me something better in the recent days.

I loved this. Finished it in one Go. All episodes.

When I watched it, I felt it was pretty much, the original itself. I think good characterization, awesome plot, glamor, Indian delhi bakchodi, you understand once yu've lived there. The lead suhani could have been better casted and placed. The best short crisp casting was ballu. Rest many felt out of place but some like Veer did very well. Overall good dramatization in each episode, and I like the fact that it was underdog(not famous cast) at the same time good acting put by all.

I thought this would have started a cult in india, but at the same time I think it's too much drama so not worthy of cult series.

To me, very efficient use of my eight hours during 2023 the rest of Netflix is not bringing that much.

Go watch it if you're thinking on the sidelines.
