A good movie

Since it is a rather obscure feature, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I always had a weak spot for Sigourney Weaver, I thought I might as well give it a try. Eventually, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and, in my opinion, it is definitely one of the best movies I have seen dealing with autism. Indeed, it is a dear subject to me, as my step-son is autist and most of the movies about the subject don't deal correctly with this handicap (for example, I barely can stand ‘Rain man’ as it is a fairly entertaining feature but it really focuses on the usual stereotypes about the subject which really annoyed me). Anyway, this movie really succeeded in portraying correctly an autist person and I was really impressed by Sigourney Weaver who pulls out an amazing performance. Unfortunately, the other sub-plots in the story were not very well developped (in fact, they could have been pretty much removed if you ask me), but in spite of its flaws, I still found the whole movie very interesting. To conclude, even though it wasn’t really a masterpiece, I really liked this movie a lot and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested by this subject.
