Mozart and the Whale

Like Adam, this film is intended to offer a non-disabled audience a sense of "betterment." It's meant to be "uplifting," and "inspiring."

Strong performances anchor this low-key romantic drama about two people with Asperger syndrome.

From the first, there is a refreshing absence of special pleading or under-the-microscope examination in Naess' approach.

Shapeless and redundant, this flick is exactly the sort of movie you'd envision if I said "mildly retarded yet physically gorgeous young romance."
