I think the part I like is that it posits- what if autism were simultaneously painful but valuable? Useful? Even a little Heroic? Without forcing social acceptance, without making the autistic person magically able to navigate the world easily.
It’s wrong on every level about reality, but most movies are anyways so that’s normal for movieland.
I dunno, I liked it. It’s simple and nice. What if your pain were useful for something?
As an accountant. The most realistic movie I’ve ever seen
You frequently want to set your clients on fire, huh
More often than I’d care to admit.
I don’t know, I feel like Ben Affleck just doesn’t have the raw charisma to believably pull off the role of an accountant.
(Believe it or not this joke was lifted from former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper who made the same joke about himself.)
I didn’t feel like he was believably autistic. Can’t explain why. It felt like he was playing a character that represented a non autistic person’s view of a person with autism.
I thought it was awesome. And Ben Affleck did a great impression of you guys.
