I could relate to this movie.....acting was superior.

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021

As the Mother of a son who is autistic this movie came very close to home. Although it would have you believe that autism is always accompanied by savantism, IT is NOT. Savants are actually rather rare and there are a lot of children who are autistic. My son is high functioning so many of the things in this movie were very similar to how my son behaves. But the one thing that is misleading is the "breakthrough" at the end. My son is 26 and he still doesn't cry, show emotion or like to be touched, and no amount of talking will change that. He is very smart as was this boy, but not necessarily in mathematics, children with Aspergers each have their own area of interest and become proficient in that area to the exclusion of areas where they show no interest. We would all like to see our autistic children lead a "normal" life, but wishing isn't going to make it happen and although I love this movie, I also realize it is just a movie, and for many children with autism there won't be a significant other in their life. Since many won't even leave their home. Living with a child with autism is exactly as difficult as this movie depicted. And you can set all the expectations in the world for them but sometimes just getting them to wear a new shirt is a great accomplishment. I fell in love with this cast......they were perfect for their parts. And the script made this movie real. A movie that won't disappoint.

A film about relationships

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2023

3 or 4 stars.
I could see why this movie might not be popular for a lot of people. It is a little slow and you will be disappointed if you want it to be about a genius in a math competition. If you recognize and appreciate that it is really more relationships, you'll be fine. Having said that, and having decided it's about relationships, I do wish there was a little more learning and closure for some of the characters. For example, I wish the main character had more understanding of his mother's difficult situation.
Besides the mother-autistic son relationship, the film also touches on adults pressuring youth to perform well, autistic teenagers dealing with peers who don't understand or always like them, losing a loved one, and taking a chance on love when there are major physical obstacles. I appreciated all these themes and there were a few scenes or lines that had something to say about these situations, but I think the film could have developed some of them better.
The acting was good, and the portrayal of autism was sometimes realistic and sometimes maybe not so much.

Exciting and Insightful / A Story in Which Treating a Kid on the Autistic Spectrum with Kid Gloves May not Be Such a Gift

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

Nathan (Asa Butterfield; Esward Baker-Cohen,as 9 year-old) is a math genius, miserably uncomfortable socially. His dad (Martin McCann) adores him, grabs him, sticks fries up his nose (his own) to amuse him. Then Dad dies. His father’s simply spontaneous, equalizing, loving behavior models a sort of normalizing of one’s own approach to kids on the spectrum. There are more than enough peers, et al, who will have imprinted the “weird” label. Mom, winningly played by Sally Hawkins, also adores Nathan, but she’s tentative, chronically apologetic and unsure. Her behavior feels almost enabling, so obviously self-doubting and lost, fearful she’ll say or do the wrong thing, that she seems to reinforce his sense of differentness, requiring special effects, which prompts his rejection of her. Nathan’s math teacher (Rafe Spall), preparing him for international math competition, is fabulously irreverent, has some deficits of his own, and picks up where Dad left off, even calling him some playfully acceptable names. There’ll be more significant characters that come into Nathan’s life: a lovely and smart teen, Zhang Mei (Jo Yang) and Richard (Eddie Marsan), who leads the math squad to the Cambridge Olympiad. All the acting is first-rate. I must say that Eddie Marsan is a uniquely gifted actor. It’s sometimes hard to initially recognize him, because he so inhabits every diverse role he plays, that he feels utterly new each time. James Graham’s story is fully-engaging, Morgan Mathews’s direction successful, as is Danny Cohen’s cinematography with editing by Peter Lambert. Martin Phipps’s score is just-right. The film is well-done on all counts, with a welcome, fresh perspective.

Michael George

an inspiring movie

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a cautionary tale about progressing in mathematics (and with other activities as well). The main character is drawn to focus on mathematics, and eventually is able to enter a prestigious competition involving young people like himself. However, because of distracting and disturbing incidents in his life, he lacks stability and focus. The result is a lot of inconsistency, and he actually leaves the competition in progress due to these disturbances. The need for focus and stability in our lives is sometimes paramount to our success. However, people are subject to many factors beyond their control, and, as we see from this movie, even a highly skilled, dedicated and motivated person for the type of competition depicted is by no means guaranteed success. The movie demonstrated this in several ways, but I was especially impressed with the enormous stress in the math competition the young people were preparing for, the extreme competition, and the need to acquire an extremely high skill level by study over a period of years. The movie, overall, presents people, not just this character, trying hard, struggling with motivation, and trying to accept hard realities, when we are faced with difficult tasks, not simply competitions. This then, is a movie about acceptance of our lives, as they are, in a world that can be far from ideal. Thus, this is more than just a movie about a competition, it is also about the human condition itself. It is an inspiring movie about courage.

For a movie about mathematics, this was surprisingly emotional. Good balance between heart and mind. Reset my moral compass.

Für mich einer der schönsten Filme seit langer Zeit. Sehr gefühlvoll, warmherzig und berührend, was meiner Meinung nach vor allem an der brillianten schauspielerischen Leistung von Asa Butterfield liegt. Das soll natürlich nicht die Leistung der übrigen Darsteller schmälern. Der Film ist für meinen Geschmack bis in die kleinsten Nebenrollen großartig besetzt.
