Stephen Romei The Australian This is worthwhile film-making and the performances are solid, but there's too much reliance on the schmaltz factor, especially towards the end. It will be interesting to see what the young actor Fitzgerald does next. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times A film that nevertheless deserves to be seen and discussed. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Katie Walsh Tribune News Service a heartfelt, humorous and sometimes harrowing yarn. Rated: 3/4 Jun 1, 2024 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com Showing a healthy disregard for mawkish cliches, Ezra unspools as an energetically paced, emotionally honest dramedy. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US What begins as a somewhat lighthearted look at two parents who are really struggling to be okay with who they are and who their son is evolves into a caper comedy of sorts, taking a number of questionable turns along the way. Rated: B- Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Cain Noble-Davies FILMINK (Australia) More movies with a focus on autism should be like this. Rated: 14/20 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Robert B Sweet, simple movie held together by fine acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Kathryn You must watch this movie. Great acting and eye opening movie regarding people on the Spectrum. I learned a few things about autism. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Guy J P very slow until ending which was heartwarming Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review PAMELA D Every co-star here is amazing, especially Robert DeNiro. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Marilee We loved this movie and highly recommend it. We thought all of the actors did a great job. We liked the focus on the relationships between these characters and that they were not always nice and neat. The filmed did a very good job of showing conflict between characters and the struggles people have to understand a neuro-divergent population. Two thumbs up. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Lois A great movie with a wonderful messsge! Heart warming story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
