Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
theyan-32973 Looked at the beginning, it was intended to give up, feel the actor's acting a bit exaggerated, but he is sensitive to the characteristics of the tension, attracted me, it is like me? Perhaps a lot of people are like this? Until I finished, it's a good story. Some of the details of the move: he is very serious, try to change himself, into the world, to maintain a simple belief, why should change it, you are so good. In reality, some of the plot is not going to happen, but in the movie. Luke is lovely, simple, harmless, direct, normal people who are very difficult to have such a feature, sad.Ps: computer translation. Ha-ha
alicecbr I am awash in a family of people with ADD and ADHD, as the Seth Green character was. Autistic people intrigue me, because we are supposedly somewhere on that spectrum. I was a gifted child and software engineer for 35 years, and still have no filter. So this movie taught me a little about 'being normal', something I've always wondered about. I needed Seth Green to explain to me how to be or ape being neurologically normal: to pretend interest when you aren't, to look into someone's eyes but not too long so as not to appear weird, to use stupid" small talk to buffer the conversation, etc, etc. I never knew any of this stuff. Had I learned to be tactful, to couch my true feelings in the little white lies of which society is made, then maybe I wouldn't have had 3 husbands and 3 divorces. This movie is essential watching for people like me, male or female. Your heart bleeds, as you realize 'normalcy' with its hypocrisies and cruelties will never be his. His pitiful rotten mom will perhaps never be able to be anywhere near his mother . But his aunt sure turned herself around and I really loved that part. So much of what is insightful about this movies revolves around Luke's blatant honesty, his utter guilelessness. I think so much of this screenplay must have been written by someone who knew intimately an autistic person. Will my grandson ever be able to stay married, have a 'normal' adulthood, whatever that is? Will Adderall/methyl phenydrate and these other horrid drugs be what his life will comprise? God, I hope not, but movies like this kinda help us learn to ape whatever it is we need to get along in the workaday world. Wanna make a lot of money? Become a socialization coach for people like Luke and myself. Daddy took Dale Carnegies courses to help him; autistic folks should be able to have similar training. The support he got from this great, non perfect family of his thrilled me What a movie!!!! And who the Hell wants to be normal, anyhow?
rikardo1979 I'm not good in writing the reviews and actually this is my first so I do not go to write anything extra. To be honest when we found about this movie we didn't expect much from it. But what a nice surprise when we started to watch ... All I can say is that this was one of the best movies I've seen for past few months. We have really enjoyed every minute of it from start to end. The story blend perfectly all together, the fun, life, drama,... I don't understand why the movies like this are not better presented? To attract more people, to get more people to watch the pieces like this? This movie should get better promo... This is definitely worth to watch
largopiano1 Just finished watching this flick for the 2nd time and "Luke" and was still captivated.I immediately got all the movies I could find with Lou in them and due to bad parts in bad movies he would always remain a bit part actor in flop movies...How Hollywood ignored this movie and Lou's performance is beyond me...Could compare this flick to "Forrest Gump"...so have a box of tissues at hand.I know I'll be watching this a 3rd time soon.There's so much crap out there and its a mystery how some get financing The supporting cast does well to set the stage for Luke...Good writing, editing, etc make this a very watchable flick...SO, if you get the chance, pick of this flick and enjoy...you'll be glad you did.
