Temple Grandin (2010 TV Movie)
7/10
excellent autism drama based on a true story
27 September 2010
every now and then there's comes along a movie based on a true story which surprises us and this is definitely one of them. Not a patch on the 'Rain Man', this really does get to the heart of trying to explain and understand autism within a movie without glorifying mocking or in any way misrepresenting the condition that autism is.

those among us have no first hand experience of autism and to tell the story such as this I find remarkable. Temple Grardin is clearly and has been a remarkable lady who has given a great deal to mankind and to the field of science.

the field focuses on her determination to have the technique for the slaughter of cattle in slaughter houses accepted and of her struggle to be taken seriously with her autism condition. The film is a special one and ironically it is one which appears on low budget produced initially for television via HBO.

It is no blockbuster and absolutely if you like movie which are perhaps a bit boring but at the same time totally engrossing and tell an interesting story (but it is far from a documentary) this is a movie not to be missed in any shape or form. Clare Danes is a top actress for the role.
