      Ed Bark Uncle Barky As noted, none of this seems like the stuff of riveting drama. It is, though. Still only 30, Danes shows she's now ready and able to take command of any acting challenge put in her path. Rated: A Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post Temple Grandin is an amazingly assembled, superbly acted, strikingly sweet film about Grandin's life -- and the cows' death. Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Alyssa Rosenberg The Atlantic HBO's fine biopic serves as an important reminder that people with autism spectrum disorders are individuals rather than collections of tics. Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Temple Grandin turns out to be the kind of biopic Hollywood rarely makes anymore: It's positive, revealing and surprising; an intelligent period piece without sex or violence that's virtually free of profanity. Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Daynah Burnett PopMatters The film simply asks us to reconsider how we view those with autism, and by the end of the film, it's worked. Jul 30, 2020 Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald I keep coming back to Ormond, who can be heartbreaking as the mother who yearns for the hug she will never get but is nonetheless determined that her child's potential will be realized.

      Sharon J The movie was brilliantly acted and well directed. I was mesmerized from the very beginning. Clare Danes did a wonderful job portraying a brilliant, autistic person. I am in total awe. The movie was riveting in every way I highly recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Nathan L I can't believe I never heard of this movie until now. Found it thanks to clips of it on tiktok. Amazing acting, compelling story telling. I wish more modern movie makers put this kind of love and care into their stories. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/04/23 Full Review Barb K Truly an amazing movie! Warms the heart and gives life to humanity! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review wuaiimi ayuda mucho a intentar mostrarle a la gente "normal" que es ser autista Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Ranger R This movie just goes to show even people with a disability can still change the world. (The only issue is it sometimes feels like the movie is going too slow). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review connor s Totally inspiring. Films like this lift my heart.
