Drive Me to the End

This kind of car trip movie was seen by dozen of times and the story start with a very obvious how it ends. Haven't said that, the process matters. It's a good example of low budget and similar theme filmed b4 can still be good. Kinda refreshing when watch.

I am no spring chicken, for that matter more like an early winter chicken! But I found this movie entertaining, honest, amusing and really good! No, I am not associated with anyone involved! But I check ratings on here for most shows, I look at the 45+ and surprised at the low rating! What do you people expect? A sex romp, blood, action? Why does the viewing public lost the love of a good story, simple story? Anyway, it is certainly worth watching!

Not often do you get a great British film, they're either content to offer ex soap opera wannabe gangsters having a slap fest or well the same but centuries ago.... This is different, it's well written, well directed, beautifully filmed and yep performed brilliantly. Richard Summers-Calvert has put together a gorgeous piece of normality that one doesn't need to decipher, the Australian Kate Lister gives subtle mannerisms that gives autism a voice, not loud but understanding. Classic British cinema that proves talent beats low budget productions. Watch it !

After a long day at work, me and my partner sat down for a bit of scrolling on Amazon prime until we came across this gem.

The film has much more to offer than just a long drive to a funeral, this film educates the normality of autism but also subtly and perfectly shows you the reality of the mannerisms that someone with autism may have.

The film had many laughs and even a few tears but this is a film I could go back to again and again for the feel good factor.

Was a pleasure to view - 10/10

Will.

The clear chemistry between the two leads demonstrably helped to create a superb feel good movie that leaves the audience wanting more by the end.

I loved the fact, as someone with autism myself, the way the character of Ryan (Summers-Calvert) showed interest in what made Sunny (Lister) different, transitioning from inquisitiveness, understanding, accepting and embracing her talents. It wasn't over dramatized but accurately displayed the awkwardness and struggles that can occur when meeting people for the first time.

Drive Me To The End strikes a fine balance between powerful emotional scenes and also extremely funny comedic moments. The audience are given time to react to each of these. Rather than the comedy just being to lighten the mood after serious events, it almost feels like it is there to show Ryan and Sunny's way of distracting themselves from the two underlying stories (Ryan's Mum and Sunny's autism).

Feeling like you were there in the car during the journey with them, I really hope a sequel can be made as Richard Summers-Calvert clearly has a huge talent when it comes to directing and writing. Definitely recommend!
