finally and a film which portray autism with some realism . this film describe the challenge of raise a disabled child and how it may affect family relation and and it reward . david be severely autistic . he have no savant skill ( hollywood usual obsession with the disorder ) and think rain man while similarly there be no amiracle cure offer . for other autism film which be far less accurate and therefore damaging and see represent mercury rise and silent fall and molly and house of card and i be sam and the pit . a generally well acted film . kirstie alley be excellent . stockard channing have her moment and but regularly verge on serious over act . sam waterson and if not actually autistic himself ( surely he be . ) be amazing . well worth a watch and particularly if only to find an alternative to the inaccurate representation of autism which hollywood thrives on .
