Indie, Romance
4 stars
Really sweet movie about a young man with Asperger’s Syndrome (Hugh Dancy: Jane Austen Book Club, Black Hawk Down, Evening, Confessions of a Shopaholic) trying to get through a socially awkward life, who has a mutual attraction with his pretty neighbor (Rose Byrne: Wicker Park). Co-stars include Peter Gallagher and Amy Irving as Byrne’s parents, and Frankie Faison as Dancy’s father’s old war buddy. I really liked this movie, it’s sweet without being sugary or sappy, and Dancy will make your heart melt. Dancy is also proving to be a very talented actor, not just another pretty face. I hope you get to see it.
