Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
jg-86830 Watched this last night and I enjoyed it. The filmmakers did an excellent job of conveying what it is like for a family going through life with a child with Aspergers and when tragedy hits. All of the actors did a tremendous job and I especially enjoyed Asa Butterfield, he is a very talented young actor and puts his everything into roles like this. The ending was perfect and very touching for anyone who has lost someone they love and who is on their journey through life.
hamzaharakat I love the movie .... you have to watch it ! and hope you enjoy it
Anjaneai Srivastava I wasn't expecting the movie to be so good. I am an engineer and I felt its family drama story of a child prodigy of some sort. However, it greater than that, its about the bonds we share, how we interpret people who are different to us and how they interpret us. We are lost between our checklist with which we gauge everyone around as decide whether they are relevant to us or not! But then there comes days when we come out of shell and see the larger picture and understand things which never made sense.yes, I haven't said a thing about movie or its character, I wish to keep it hidden and let you experience it yourself.A must watch is my final verdict.
The_late_Buddy_Ryan Nathan (Asa Butterfield) hits the "based on a true story" trifecta as a math prodigy who's solidly on the spectrum and suffers from PTSD. As with other such movies we've seen, including "Philomena" and "The Imitation Game," this one's quite watchable but a little disappointing—seems like the script had to be tinkered with too much to fill out the standard story arc and meet the expectations of mainstream viewers. This is docmaker Morgan Matthews's first fiction film, and in the best scenes, Nathan's just wandering around Taipei with his Chinese study buddy (Jo Yang), Hou Hsiao-hsien–style. Somehow the relationships between Nathan, his neuronormal mum and his tutor—a disappointed guy who makes bitter, though sometime very funny little jokes about his debilitating illness—didn't quite click for me. I was looking forward to a Mike Leigh stock-company reunion, what with Eddie Marsan and Rafe (son of Timothy) Spall, though I'm worried that fabulous Sally Hawkins ("Happy-Go-Lucky") might be getting typecast these days as the fubsy, put-upon mum (cf. Woody's "Blue Jasmine"). Despite the weaknesses of the screenplay, the performances were all first rate—Jake Davies totally nails it as a would-be Math Olympian who's afraid he's not quite "clever" enough (for his abrasive aspie mannerisms to pass muster). Kudos to the screenwriter (or the "maths" consultant or whoever) for picking a number-theory problem for Nathan to solve in a way that even a dummy like me could follow
