Wow, there are a whole lot of reviews discussing prosopagnosia by folks that have never experienced this condition but want to speak as authorities. Shame-shame
There are two types of prosopagnosia; acquired and developmental. Folks like my wife, with developmental prosopagnosia, had the condition their entire life from some unknown etiology and developed coping skills since birth. Those like me, with acquired prosopagnosia, lived a portion of our lives without the condition and obviously developed no coping skills in advance.
Those that cite voice recognition as a flaw in the movie have zero knowledge of acquired prosopagnosia. Sure the voices are indeed quite familiar, but they are coming out of unfamiliar faces. That presents confusion far beyond just not recognizing faces. In fact, in my case it interfered with my ability to develop coping skills. It took me over 10 years to overcome this confusion brought on by voice recognition and develop real usable coping skills. I have now had this condition for over 40 years and my coping skills are still sorely lacking compared to my wife's as she developed them throughout her life and never experienced what I call being blinded by the face -- letting face recognition when I was "normal" make living with prosopagnosia that much more difficult.
I suggest that everyone who "sees" flaws in the movie see it again. This time with the knowledge that things such as familiar voice, gait, mannerisms, clothing and situations only heighten the confusion when one first acquires this extremely rare condition. Perhaps it will make far more sense to those that gave negative reviews about something of which they are totally ignorant.
