Oh great, here's another "Autism" Cliché flick, hurray! And again it turns out to warm up just about every stereotype repeated ad nauseam since 'Rain Man'. Sigourney Weaver is annoying in Alex' words, I must rather agree- she was certainly unconvincing at best. Rickman however gives a great performance as sad ageing Middle Class, a role that we have seen him in before and that he masters bravely. The script is full of bizarre squeaks, when Alex stands up in the funeral to shake the truck drivers hand I very nearly gave up. Even for an American production that is simply too rich!! I think this 'drama' only survived the first screening because of it's astonishing casting: clearly Alan Rickman and Carrie-Ann Moss carry the whole thing. The fact that they accepted the script must mean that this ambitious project was crippled in the editing room. What a flop.
