As noted, none of this seems like the stuff of riveting drama. It is, though. Still only 30, Danes shows she's now ready and able to take command of any acting challenge put in her path.

| Original Score: A | Jul 30, 2020

Temple Grandin is an amazingly assembled, superbly acted, strikingly sweet film about Grandin's life -- and the cows' death.

| Jul 30, 2020

HBO's fine biopic serves as an important reminder that people with autism spectrum disorders are individuals rather than collections of tics.

| Jul 30, 2020

Temple Grandin turns out to be the kind of biopic Hollywood rarely makes anymore: It's positive, revealing and surprising; an intelligent period piece without sex or violence that's virtually free of profanity.

| Jul 30, 2020

The film simply asks us to reconsider how we view those with autism, and by the end of the film, it's worked.

| Jul 30, 2020

What's striking about Temple Grandin is the absence of sentimentality; no syrupy music, no saccharine climax - just a rich glimpse inside a rare mind.

| Jul 30, 2020

It is, of course, the kind of role that is notoriously awardable... But there is real nuance here too, in the way that Danes shows you Grandin's increasing ability to manage her own panic and uncertainty

| Jul 29, 2020

It helps that Danes is phenomenal, going so deep inside the character as to be unrecognizable to fans of her Romeo + Juliet, Me and Orson Welles and My So-Called Life performances.

| Jul 29, 2020

This thoughtful treatment also helps a severely deglammed Danes transcend a standard awards-bait performance. She in turn gets a nice boost from a strong but understated supporting cast.

| Original Score: A | Jul 29, 2020

I keep coming back to Ormond, who can be heartbreaking as the mother who yearns for the hug she will never get but is nonetheless determined that her child's potential will be realized.

| Jul 29, 2020

Danes so completely immerses herself in her character that her performance becomes refreshingly free of actorly artifice.

| Jul 29, 2020

[A] sparkling, inspirational bio-pic that -- while conventionally plotted -- has some tremendous rewards, including Claire Danes' unsentimental portrayal of the remarkable Grandin.

| Original Score: 87/100 | Jul 29, 2020

Temple Grandin won't make audiences understand autism -- the condition is too complex to be fully captured in a two-hour 온라인카지노추천 movie, if it can be captured at all. But the film may help us understand her, to all of our benefit.

| Jul 29, 2020

Don't miss it -- especially for Danes' career-defining performance. You'll be looking at the next Meryl Streep.

| Jul 29, 2020

Every child diagnosed as autistic isn't Temple Grandin. But in Danes' pitchperfect and unblinking presentation of her story lies the blueprint for how the world should see potential, rather than limitations.

| Jul 29, 2020

Even when the predictably rousing moments come, you may not feel manipulated so much as fascinated. The movie keeps its cool, so that Claire Danes can keep her dignity.

| Jul 29, 2020

Most impressively, Danes gets past the tics of her character -- an autistic woman who "thinks in pictures" -- to create the sort of memorable portrait that frequently yields gilded ornaments as a lovely parting gift.

| Jul 25, 2020

So completely does [Claire Danes] capture her subject's hard-learned speech, the genderless stride, the flashes of terror and brilliance and, occasionally, radiant joy, that it's impossible to find a trace of the actor beneath

| Jul 25, 2020

The conventional biopic beats all get hit here. But Danes' performance is far from conventional.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 25, 2020

Danes, who's been very good on both the small screen and the big screen, is masterful as Grandin. Though she employs the panicky mannerisms and verbal tics of her subject, she never makes those qualities the central part of her performance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 25, 2020
