Viewing Notes

Recommended by Jenni as she was taking me to the airport during my last visit to Austin. She mentioned that one of the speakers at her events was Temple Grandin and I was like “who?” So she said I should watch the movie. So I placed the hold and now watched.

Damn. This is a good flick! Having no background on this individual Mick Jackson provided some creative directorial choices to really suck the audience into this movie. Claire Danes is outstanding. Really a David vs Goliath overcoming obstacles true life story. Wonderful film. Glad to have seen it and know about this amazing person. Thanks, Jenni!
