Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

alanpgini A real look into the life of an Autistic individual as only one who suffers from it can see it. Claire Danes gives a magnificent portrayal of this woman and her life, while at the same time educating the viewer on how an Autistic person sees and deals with the world. Straithan, Ormond and Sullivan, round out a cast that of other excellent performances. The intuitive viewer will see though, that this woman, in times where not much was understood about this condition, had the benefit of a wealthy family. This is later confirmed in Bio's of Grandin's life. But the benefit thereof, increases our understanding of this condition. The script and the story are well crafted in telling the story without being preachy. I cant recommend it enough.

Bonnie O'Connor When I heard that Claire Danes was going to play Temple Grandin I thought, "No, how can this long haired blonde (from Romeo and Juliet) play this gray headed tomboy with a thick accent?" At that time I had no idea who Temple Grandin was, except that she had Autism - like me. I didn't think she'd be that interesting, especially since she was involved with the cattle industry and it seemed boring (or at least it was boring to read on the internet). However, like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, Claire Danes knocked my socks off at how well she played Temple Grandin. Not only could I not see Danes under the wig or accent, but the story was just as amazing!The film's basically about Temple's life after high school, and how she gets past being picked on, how she views the world, how she gets to understand cattle, and eventually learns to get along in life. I love the film! If this movie came out before Rain Man, then my parents would probably have understood better what Autism was. I have nothing against Rain Man, but what this movie did differently from Rain Man was that the audience gets to experience what Temple's experiencing and see what she sees. For example, you'll hear the intenseness of sounds that most people don't seem to mind, and you'll see what she's thinking. For example when someone says "It's a miracle" she'll have a flash of Christ walking on the water, and when she puts out two similar looking spoons we are shown the difference. I guess in a way you could say that we become Temple Grandin while watching her. The only two nitpicks I have with this movie is that there is a Rain Man moment in the movie where she just looks at a book and instantly reads the page from her mind. That never happened, nor did her brain work like that. The only other thing that bothered me a bit was that we never see whether or not she gets her cattle dip fixed or not, she just walks off in a huff and complains to the owner, then two scenes later she wants to tour the slaughter house. That felt a bit rushed and made me feel empty, but the ending made up for it. From a personal viewpoint I found this movie very relatable, because the visuals we see of how she thinks is exactly how I think, and some of our behaviors are similar, but not really. This movie captured what it was like to be diagnosed with Autism, and it also showed how much pain the mother had to go through in order to help Temple function in the world and not be locked in an institution. So not only do we end up feeling Temple's pain, but the mother's as well. That is a tough challenge, but the writers did it well. This film not only inspired me to speak at my high school graduation and shamelessly share my struggles with Autism, but also encouraged me to keep strong, because someday I may change the course of history as she did.

Thanos Karagioras "Temple Grandin" is the name of a woman who is an autistic activist and she is doctor of animal science and professor at Colorado State University. she is also created the "hug box", a device to calm autistic children. As you can understand Temple Grandin is a really important to the society and that's something that is obvious nowadays.I liked very much this movie because it's based on a true story and it shows us from a different way how is to be an autistic person. Claire Danes who plays Temple Grandin makes one of her best interpretations and I think this is her best. I also liked very much the interpretation of David Strathairn who plays as Dr. Carlock the teacher and friend of Temple Grandin. Finally I want to tell you that this movie is a life lesson in every sense of the word...

Helio Copter Temple Grandin is one of the best films that I have ever seen. I am a big Claire Danes fan from way back, and she is terrific. The rest of the film-making is superb as well. The editing and use of drawing-like visual effect overlays works very well, in particular. Basically, this is a depiction of a real woman who is autistic, and happens to be a leading innovator in dealing with livestock. That may sound like an odd basis for a film, but it works, and it is not boring or dull at all. Granted, it is not full of explosions and sex, but it is absolutely interesting, funny, moving, and more than worthwhile.In pretty much every way, this is an extremely good film, thought provoking and refreshingly different from a lot of what you see.
