The Reason I Jump Reviews
ABSOLUTE MUST SEE as a human being!
I thought this was a very immersive documentary that does well at giving an insight into the lives and minds of non verbal autistic adolescents. Its a very colourful film, in terms of the bright colours shown on screen (not referring to strong language, its safe to say). I liked the sense of hope it conveys - we could all do with feeling more hope at the moment. I would definitely recommend this film if your interested in what it's like to be a non verbal autistic person, yes.
Cinematography was astounding, especially for a documentary. The sound design makes beautiful connections between pictures and unexpected sounds, making it a sensory experience, especially in dolby atmos. the story seemed to be a bit cliché at times, showing mostly the easy and good things. it still was very touching and emotional and i really felt connected with the 5 characters. it seemed as if they tried to not overwhelm the viewer with sound and pictures, even though they were saying that the world can be quite very overwhelming to people with autism. i feel like i have a better understanding of autism with a less prejudiced view after seeing the movie.
