Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

SnoopyStyle It's summer 1966 Arizona. Temple Grandin (Claire Danes) is an autistic woman staying at her aunt Ann (Catherine O'Hara)'s ranch getting ready to go to college. She can't understand people but finds it easy to understand horses and cattle. She comes up with a squeeze box to calm herself. With the help of her loving but overwhelmed mother (Julia Ormond), mentor Dr. Carlock (David Strathairn), and others, she is able to study, publish, and work on animal handling despite facing a disbelieving and alien world.This is a surprisingly powerful movie. Claire Danes delivers a great performance. I have never cared for animal handling more. This is more than a TV movie and this could have turned into a movie of the week. Instead, it's cinematic and emotional. The story is so compelling and she is such a great underdog story. It builds to heart-warming final scenes at the autistic convention.

harconn21 I saw this several years ago and having heard of Ms Grandin in the past, I thought this would be a good film to watch. I encouraged my family to watch it with me and they enjoyed it as much as I did. Had I not checked the credits afterwards, I would never have guessed Claire Danes as Ms Grandin. I can sympathize with the difficulties of the autism spectrum, as I myself am on the Spectrum with a mild form of Aspergers.This was a really good movie and I would encourage anyone who is or knows someone on the Spectrum to see this, it was really well done and should not have been a TV movie.

Thanos Karagioras "Temple Grandin" is the name of a woman who is an autistic activist and she is doctor of animal science and professor at Colorado State University. she is also created the "hug box", a device to calm autistic children. As you can understand Temple Grandin is a really important to the society and that's something that is obvious nowadays.I liked very much this movie because it's based on a true story and it shows us from a different way how is to be an autistic person. Claire Danes who plays Temple Grandin makes one of her best interpretations and I think this is her best. I also liked very much the interpretation of David Strathairn who plays as Dr. Carlock the teacher and friend of Temple Grandin. Finally I want to tell you that this movie is a life lesson in every sense of the word...

goddardr I mean that as a compliment. This is an outstanding story about an accomplished woman and how a few thoughtful people were able to help her through the difficulties faced by autistic people. If you are worried about watching another movie about a person overcoming great barriers, don't be for this one. It is magical how the writers, directors, and actors, especially the spot-on performance of Claire Danes, were able to keep the story true without overwrought dramatics and sugary sweet sentimentality. It is a joy to watch.Temple Grandin, born with autistic behavior, has difficulty in learning academically and socially except for her mother and a few teachers that recognized how different her world is. Her life is documented from early years to later academic and personal growth, but it is not presented chronologically. Since the central topic of the story includes her relationship with cows, the story begins at her first exposure to cows at her relations ranch.It is best not to know in advance how Temple becomes enamored by cows and her following success with them, but let us just say it does involve how cows are slaughtered for human consumption. If this bothers you or if you do not agree that meat processing is okay, then this movie is not going to be for you no matter what. One reviewer listed below was revolted by how the movie seems to, at least in his eyes, glamorize or justify beef processing. It is just part of Temple Grandin's story, not some kind of beef producers attempt to quell those that believe meat consumption is wrong.Likewise, if you have had the challenge of raising autistic children, Temple Grandin's story may seem to trivialize those challenges. My understanding of autism (and it is incomplete at best) has been that autism has some common characteristics, but they manifest in many different ways.There is no doubt this is one of the most beautiful human interest movies made. As a high school teacher, I showed my engineering class this movie over two days for two reasons. First, she shows a remarkable talent of analyzing problems and develop solutions. Second, and this was the main reason, the story of "being different, not less" is an important one of tolerance. One of my students was a highly functional autistic girl that was viewed as strange by fellow students on a regular basis. This brought the point home in how important it is to recognize we are all not the same and that is okay. By the way, the students were engaged through the whole movie (it's easy to tell; they didn't try to sneak phone texts during the movie and didn't fall asleep).Savor this one. They just don't come along very frequently
