Reading the critics reviews one gets a wonderful perspective of autism, but not a lot about the movie. This is a review of the movie and not of autism. Overall, a good concept and a fair indie movie. However, low budget is no excuse for poor directing, poor editing and allowing lame acting to pass as final product. The visual effects and stylistic elements are excellent. Really good work there. But sadly it cannot carry the movie. I just feel that there was so much more that could have been done to make it better. It's as if someone's "good enough" bar was set too low. I did manage to get to the end of the movie, which took some effort. But the effort wasn't really worth it at the end.

In an age of cookie-cutter productions, this movie stands out. Refreshingly different, with a slow-burning delivery, this movie does everything good Sci-Fi should. Atmosphere, mood, feelings, thinking, suspense, mystery - all delivered capably. Great work by Andrew Patterson. Excellent performances from Jake Horowitz and Sierra McCormick. Also Gail Cronauer. It takes guts and dedication to the art to deliver a movie that focuses on creating and developing a story and mood without glitzy OTT effects and CGI. Kudos to Andrew Patterson - you pulled it off!

(Well, actually there are many non-Hollywood productions that work better than some of the rubbish we get fed as entertainment). Brilliant movie - perhaps not, but the acting is solid, the innovation and novelty is better than good, and I through the CGI and production was exceptional. The story carried well and even my Marvel-generation 18-year-old enjoyed it thoroughly. We watched the dubbed version which was a little sad, and sometimes hilarious. In all, really watchable and really well done! If this is what will come out of Ruskiwood, then I'll be buying!
