It will be shown on Sky Atlantic at 9pm tonight, 3rd April. Here is the review in Radio Times, the television and radio features and listings magazine.
Quote:
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 draws you so completely into the autistic mind that you feel acutely the peaks and troughs of Temple's emotional rollercoaster.
Claire Danes plays the gawky Temple with a wide-eyed intensity and is backed by a stellar cast including Julia Ormond as her uncompromising mother, Catherine O'Hara as her kindly aunt, and David Straithairn as an inspirational teacher.
