    Excellent! Dakota Fanning has really blossomed as an actress. Funny, but more importantly gives a great insight to what those with Autism have to deal with.

    Such a sweet film. First watched this on a tiny shitty little TV on the back of a chair on a plane. It was still enough to get me teary then. Deserves a rewatch.

    Such a heartwarming production - I'm glad when I can relate to a movie I'm super into.
