Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

mgonce I had to watch this movie as part of a class assignment. It was such an amazing and inspiring movie. Temple Grandin is an amazing woman. I am a huge animal lover and was amazed to know that she created a system to be more humane to cattle. I wish more people could see how talented and smart autistic children are.

d-nicol6444 I enjoyed this biopic because of the animals, not the heroine. After a while I got very irritated by her bulging eyes, tantrums, and hysterical behaviour, relentless and in the end boring and annoying. I doubt if anyone could live with that constant emotional melodrama. The saintly sister was sickeningly nice and good. This SO unrealistic. Most people would be nice and long-suffering but swear when out of her presence or with empathetic others. The film makers didn't introduce humour to lighten up the movie. This film didn't improve for me so I stopped watching it after an hour.

GeoPierpont Amazing immersion into a role for Danes, I was superbly impressed with her capture of an autistic woman and can only be quite grateful for this wondrous expression. I have limited experience with autism and have only heard negative comments on Jennie McCarthy's treatise on this insidious disease.After viewing this film I was compelled to express my deepest sympathy for all those parents and children dealing with this affliction. I had no concept of the ill treatment and debasement of many trying to fit in with the 'normies'.I found the treatment of Temple's life and many challenges exemplified by the door analogy and found it inspirational. Humane treatment of animals is such an uplifting topic to many and I appreciate the expansion of how to improve their lot in life and death.Claire Danes career who I have followed since Little Women as well as Romeo and Juliet could not have been better vilified with this vehicle to portray her versatility and verisimilitude in a very complex role.High recommend for families dealing with autistic children, compassionate teachers and mothers, blind students, and most of all those of us who are inclined towards compassion towards those who do just do not fit in with others. What an incomparable film!!

lindsey-a-ruth Temple Grandin is an extraordinary woman who has become a role model for the Autistic and an innovator in animal husbandry. When Temple was four years old, her doctors told her mother that she should be institutionalized; however, her mother disagreed. Before entering college, Temple lived on a cattle ranch where she fell in love with cattle and the business. She struggled with anxiety, and created a squeeze machine to help her fell more comfortable and calm. While working with cattle on the ranch, she learned that cattle have some of these feelings as well, so she did research in animal husbandry to create a handling machine that would ensure the cattle were comfortable going through the chutes. She spent many years researching the equipment and processes involved in treating cattle humanely. Mooing was one thing that Temple researched because she realized that it meant the cows were telling us something. Using this information and her visions, she created a new cattle dipping machine and helped to design slaughter houses that helped to calm and comfort the cattle. Through her work in animal husbandry and successful career path, she has become a spokesperson for Autism. She has shown us that despite the struggles we face in life, we can find ways to succeed if we look hard at ourselves and our needs. When Temple created the squeeze machine she found a way to cope and manage her challenges, she did the same by creating more humane cattle dips and slaughter houses for cattle. This is an educational movie which will show you the challenges and joys that Autistic people face every day along with a closer look at humane animal handling conditions that exist in cattle ranches and slaughter houses across the country. Temple Grandin is an inspiring and inspirational movie that everyone should see.
