User Reviews
A great unique film with a lot of heart and surprising moments of tension. Both leads give amazing performances too
John Hawkes and Helen Hunt are excellent, the film is merely all right.
Mark's sardonic and humorous approach to his condition make this much less gross and saccharine than it could have been.
Un ensayo sobre la conección humana y su efecto en cada uno de nosotros llevado a cabo con actuaciones muy buenas.
Very slow and was too slow for me however has very good performances it just wasn’t for me.
Surprisingly effective and well acted by Hawkes and Hunt. Really gets deep into what people with disabilities go through on all levels.
A rare love story to witness
Surprisingly Well Done 8/10
