[Highly rated reviewer]

Beautiful experience

I totally agree with previous reviewer. I came out of this film feeling that I'd seen something small and special. It's provisionally a film about accepting someone with autism but it's really a lot more than that - it's about acceptance full stop. We are all complicated, flawed, often eccentric - the central character's autism is important and unique but also an extension of how difficult and challenging we can all be - including the other characters in the film. It's also about love, separation, loss, grief - and love. The setting, music, photography, performance all combine to produce a beautiful, nuanced, heart-warming, life-affirming experience.

Defintely worth watching.

I loved seeing how this film portrayed people with autism. I work with children and adults who have autism and I feel the film looked at it from lots of different perspectives.

Such as how all the people around her treated her differently. What I am trying to say is probably that it is very true to real life. They had her stacking shelves in a shop, sadly this is real life, thats what they have people with autism doing, although they are much more capable of doing better things.

So from my point of view I think they captured how autism is perseived in the real world very well, very wel indeed.

I also loved how the two characters relationship grew, aswell. It is a sad story to be honest, but very delightful to watch.
