I had no idea what this movie was really about, and randomly selected it one night trying to find something to watch. I had no idea it would be as incredible as it was. It is based on true events.. The acting and the story were superb, with some amazing performances by the actors, especially those portraying the kids with special needs. They were very spot on. It goes through a wonderful arc, showing the struggles of the families, but by the end you are crying with happiness for them. The pace is perfect, there is literally no down time, no moments where I wanted to walk away and do something else. I am a special education teacher, and I really appreciated them showing how wonderful and rewarding knowing and working with these children can be. But at the same time the real life struggles the parents must face daily. It is an amazing movie that I am so glad I stumbled onto. Watch it with a box of tissues near by! It will make you smile and cry at the same time lol.
