Its a 1999 film, I'm in the middle of watching it as i'm writing this,
i found it on amazon where i'm looking for films with autism in it.
while i was watching it, apparently molly goes from really low functioning autism to high function after an operation on her brain and some life skill training. is this realistic?
what did anyone else think bout this film?
wiki plot and details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_(film)

No, that isn't realistic at all.

I saw the movie. It was nicely made but the odds of that surgery working in real life are slim to none.
