Drive Me to the End

It's a simple movie with loveable characters, And even though you can guess where the story is going, it's still an enjoyable surprise when things happen. Doesn't require any over thinking, or knowledge of sign language (lol), It's pure and simple.... When UK TV are now trying to catch up on the football matches no-one has missed, or showing 'The best moments from the best of's of a program that never had any great moments', this is a great film to watch!

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 !

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!

This film made me so happy. I was recommended it by a friend who said it was an absolute hidden gem and he was completely right. This was the first time I had seen either Kate Lister and Richard Summers-Calvert act and the naturalness and dimension they brought to the characters was a joy to behold. Really interested to check out more of their work.

The writing felt fresh and real, I laughed a lot, and then I cried a lot. Such a touching movie and I'm so glad I chose to watch it, especially in a time where it's so hard to find joy or hope. Please, treat yourself and give this a watch!

Wow. Was so impressed and moved by this film. Thoroughly enjoyably and totally heartwarming, this movie keeps you hooked the whole way. Both actors were amazing. Australian Kate Lister was particularly inspiring, portraying her character with such accurate detail and subtle emotion. Playing an autistic role could've easily been overdone but Lister found that perfect balance, a credit to her acting skill. Absolutely loved the classic British humour that kept me giggling throughout the film too. It's a must watch for me! You won't be disappointed!
