Review

One of the most candid, down-to-earth, organically
inspirational documentaries you ll ever see…an unsentimental, simply photographed chronicle of the autism epidemic that doesn’t try to show too much or conceal the rough places. Amazing…extraordinary…it will have audiences cheering long before the final act. –The Boston Globe

Outlining the bewildering challenges faced by autistic kids and their parents, this heartwarming documentary is full of sweetness and hope, and constitutes mandatory viewing for those who aren’t familiar with the ups and downs of raising autistic children. –Salon.com

Can children with autism (now one in every 150) come together to write, rehearse, and perform a musical? It s one mother’s dream, and this deeply moving documentary follows it’s heartwarming (and -breaking) journey to reality. A- –Entertainment Weekly
