Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

David Crawford

This could so easily have been one of those disease-of-the-week, triumph-over-adversity TV movies. The story of a remarkable autistic woman, Temple Grandin, and her fight for acceptance and, simply, a comfortable place in the world, there is little dramatic content outside of her fragile emotional state. But it is the visually stunning realisation of Temple's inner world - how she sees the world in pictures - that makes this such an absorbing character study. It immerses you so skilfully in an autistic mind that you feel acutely the peaks and troughs of Temple's emotional rollercoaster as she grows up and pursues her interests in science and humane livestock-farming. Claire Danes plays the gawky Temple with a wide-eyed intensity and is backed by a stellar cast including Julia Ormond as her proud, uncompromising mother, Catherine O'Hara as her kindly aunt, and David Strathairn as an inspirational teacher.
