I am not going to go into any detail on the story itself. All I want to say is I was channel surfing and caught this right at the beginning. And I can not explain why exactly, but was instantly fascinated and involved in the movie. This is a rare kind of movie, watch it you won't regret it!

The acting was fantastic! Every character is unique but also easily relatable. The story line and speed of the film was perfect. It brings a lot of emotions out and also very thought provoking on so many levels you almost need to be prepared for all the after thought when the credits roll.

First, I also disagree completely with the first reviewer. It makes me wonder if this person actually knows someone who is autistic. And this is the only downfall of the movie if there is one at all. I feared that someone watching this movie with little to no autism experience would take the presentation of this great story the wrong way. Thinking it may be silly or shallow, when in fact it is not. Anyone who has not had first hand experience may need some instructional guide along the way. I would recommend reading her book and the purpose of the way this movie was correctly portrayed will be clear.

My son is 8 years old with Autism and so much of this movie hit home with me and also gave me hope. It is an inspiring movie and story, and a true one at that. Time constraints understandably didn't allow for the whole story to be told, but this was a great attempt and success in doing so. It is so hard to explain to other people about the intricate details of autism with out lecturing someone on it for hours. This movie helps bridge that gap for the unaware and touches the heart of hope to the ones who are aware.

Thank you for making this movie. I read this book a couple years ago and was delighted when I heard they had been making the movie, but also worried they would get it wrong. Well they didn't, wonderful movie!

I enjoyed this movie. I think the couple bad reviews I've read here on this site are not really being fair. It almost sounds like they don't like this kind of movie, IE "thriller". Yes this movie has it's flaws, but not many. Someone mentioned that they were confused with the miss directions. This movie was designed to give double misdirections to keep you guessing, and does a pretty good job at it, with out "lying" to the audience. I watched the movie a second time to make sure it was consistent and it is. It makes you "think" one thing, but when you watch it again you see that it all adds up correctly. I am trying to not be a spoiler her in my review so I would just recommend this movie for sure. A lot of fun, well acted and great scenery!
