Have you ever gone out of your comfort zone because of a hope or desire? Or maybe even for love? That feeling as you first cope with the uncomfortableness, to only have it replaced with sheer joy– it is a wonderful thing. This touching movie played out on this theme as Adam Raki, played by Hugh Dancy (Black Hawk Down, King Arthur), who has asperger’s syndrome, meets his upstairs neighbor Beth Buchwald, played by Rose Byrne (Knowing, 28 Weeks Later). What begins is a course of new experiences. Watching Hugh as he displayed the characteristic traits associated with Asperger’s, I could feel the anxiousness and confusion that he was experiencing. It was a well done performance that was perfectly suited for the story line. I always fine it amazing when the heart and mind try to form a connection, that will lead to a strong emotion. After viewing this sweet film, my wish for you is that one day you tap into your courage and let it sail you across that sea of discomfort, to land you on the shores of delight.
