This movie is amazing

Don't miss this movie. You will be glad you saw it. It does a great job of letting you see the world through the eyes of Temple Grandin.

I've seen the real Temple in documentaries and such several times, and although Claire is too good looking - she does a great job of capturing what it is like to be Temple.

The movie is intense and I almost felt like I was experiencing the world the way Temple would. Congratulations to the writers and director.

Temple is a brave and heroic figure and this movie will leave you spiritually uplifted and optimistic.

Fantastic movie with an inspiring story

This was a great biopic. The lovely and multi-talented Claire Danes did fantastic work playing an autistic person. I have not seen or met Dr. Temple Grandin in real life, though I have known autistic people in my life and there was never a moment in "Temple Grandin," that wasn't believable.

Addressing the whole "reinforcing the stereotype," situation that constantly come about after films like, "Rain Man," I do not believe the films reinforce stereotypes. It is the mistake of the viewer to make general assumptions based on a single incident.

Temple Grandin shows more about someone with a psychological condition than just having the ability to persistently have a big heart as in "Radio," or "I Am Sam," (important to say that those characters were not autistic)even though they served their own purposes.

Autism is a different way of experiencing the world, but the individuals who are autistic are individuals as any one else. It would be ignorant to say that they are all savants or have special abilities, but if they are immersed in an environment that suits an autistic person's needs and way of thinking, then they can grow, thrive or fail as any other individual in society. As far as the movie illustrates to us, in Temple Grandin's life, she needed to be taught self-reliance, self-awareness, and have her potential recognized and cultivated as well as patient, loving, and understanding emotional support.

Temple Grandin's story explains this all quite well I think. Of course there is an entire spectrum of intelligence levels among autistic people, as there is with people without predisposed psychological conditions, it would be ignorant and cynical to assume otherwise. Temple Grandin is a genius, who happens to be autistic. Fantastic movie.

Fascinating and inspirational--and who would have thought a film involving cattle slaughter would be so good to watch!

Other than the fact that this is, at times, a non-sequential film, I loved it and the folks who made it did a great job. This is the story about a real life expert on animal husbandry--a lady who has an autism spectrum disorder and yet it very, very successful. Temple Grandin is a professor and expert on cattle care--and world-class expert on Autism. Her work has made raising and eventual slaughtering of cattle a much more efficient and humane process. How this remarkable lady was able to navigate high school, college and graduate school is the subject of the film--as you see almost none of her life before that.

Claire Danes did a fantastic job, as did the folks who made the film. I have experience working with people with Autism, and Asperger's (also known as high-functioning Autism) and the folks who made the film cared enough to get the details right. I can really respect this--and see that a film like this could do so much more to acquaint the public with these disorders than films like "Rainman". Well worth seeing and a film I just can't say enough good things about--and I am usually hard to impress! See this film.

By the way, my complaint about non-sequential films is that too often recently films bounce around--back and forth and back again in time. This can be confusing and should, in my opinion, be used sparingly. In this film, it isn't overused, thankfully.
