Goyo

Goyo is a movie that introduces us the difference between people that has different mental disorders and the people that don't, although I believe this movie explained in a perfect way how to be inclusive with people different to us and how to help them This movie is a very important subject of how we as a society need to improve our manners for treating people different of us In my personal opinion I highly recommend this movie but I believe is not for younglings or little kids because of the Depth of the plot and because little kids wouldn't understand the deep message of this beautiful movie.

I really liked this movie and because of that I give it 9 stars.

The best line of the movie was have you ever been with someone? And they listed all the characteristics of someone that everyone wants in a perfect companion.

And that person is so different from what we think is a normal person, just because they are unusual. The movie is a perfect depiction of how we cannot see how perfect people different from us can really be. It touched my heart because I met such a person and dismissed them because I was worried what someone else might think.

I still think of them years later and what i may have missed, if only I had not been pressured by society to not accept the perfect gift in front of me.

A truly gentle and wonderful human.

Critic reviews find flaws in this satisfying exploration of love found between a working class woman, Eva, and an upper class younger man, Goyo, with Aspergers syndrome. Some may have merit, but I did not feel that there was a lack of emotional connection at all, rather that the portrayal seemed genuine. The pair are conflicted over their individual circumstances in ways that seem entirely credible.

An objection I do agree with relates to the character and story line of Eva's husband. Some development to give strength to the portrayal of his character would be appropriate, but on reflection, coming from my own non-Latin culture, Eva's choices seemed obvious. Trying to comment without spoilers, so that may seem obtuse. In short, cultures that favour machismo may give more license to the husband, but not in my world.

Goyo is well portrayed. Some reviewers found it difficult to get beyond the neuro-diverse presentation. I did not. I found both leads to be just right in their roles.

This wonderful film from Argentina features Nicholas Furtado as a young man afflicted with Asperger's syndrome. The viewer watches him, transform his character through love via a serendipitous meeting with an older woman. Goyo, the title character, not only suffers from a personality disorder, but also suffers for the dysfunction of a family, that smothers him.

The portrayal is subtle and powerful, and its ability to reveal the soul of the character he plays, is probably the strongest reason to watch this film. While eroticism is presented as well as sexuality the script writer has done so in a fashion that is sensitive and tasteful. This is a film you should put on your watchlist.

I just finished watching one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Goyo takes place in Argentina. The central character is a person who is "different" from most people. While he is happy with who he is, he knows there is something very important he is missing in his life. In this remarkable film, he feels he has finally found it. The cast of characters around him, both family and friends, have their own ideas about what would be good or bad for him. It is fascinating to watch the story - his life - unfold a little at a time. That is not to say the movie is slow. Far from it. This is a classic film worthy of an oscar.
