It's a delicate balance to make a comedy about the disabled community without being overly cautious or insensitive. Keep the Change is a marvel in this way, never ignoring its character's realities, yet staying beautifully relatable to anyone dealing with insecurity or identity. David & Sarah are endlessly lovable & compelling, & they carry the film with grace & humor. It mostly doesn't force emotions; when it does, the obvious moments of ableism are a bit obnoxious, but the subtle ableism is pointed.

When I decided to watch Keep the Change my idea of what it would be about was pretty wrong. I had no idea it was about people on the spectrum. It was during the first scene of the support group that I started to understand that it was, especially when it zeroed in on Sarah. It took a while longer to realize that David too was on the spectrum; the character's desire to make people think he was just an average guy with "allergies" worked... for a while. And this was a big part of the film: David's coming to terms with who he was. In contrast, the character of Sarah was just so confident and comfortable within herself, she was a joy to watch. She's spontaneous, expressive and creative the way a child is. She also has the innocence of a child which is all the more striking as part of her acceptance of who she is includes sexuality! I believe it's the character of Sarah that gives the film its feeling of joy, which, in fact, David can't help but get swept up in himself. I just love how Sarah is so strong while being so innocent and childlike. Even in the end, she performs a heroic gesture, which was ultimately both moving and gratifying for me.

My husband and I loved this movie. We stumbled upon it while browsing, gave it a try and enjoyed every minute. It was well written, well acted and never went down the depressing, break your heart route. A slice of life of two people falling in love. Adorable. So adorable I teared up at the end, which I rarely do. Bravo. A+. More, please.
