people tend to complain about the number of film be make about mentally disabled people . i do not see this a a valid criticism and no more than complaint of too many film about any sort of people . jaco van dormael do a wonderful job with the script and direction . daniel auteuil and pascal duquenne work perfectly together and with duquenne basically play himself . the film cover a surprisingly large ground of event and and isn not simply content to go over what be see in rain man . the end be rather depressing and but it doesn not ruin the wonderful story that have come before . 7. positive .
