Acting pretty bad but that's just the script. Terrible writing! The intro is interesting, some stupid beginning scenes but that happens. 10mins in...starts to look stupid. I give it some stars for the idea and location scenes. Someone has to get credit for the good parts, but not many of that. So, screenplay- bad. Acting - not so good.

By the way there is absolutely NOTHING remotely Sci-Fi about this film at all; so why was it rated as such! Its not the low budget that causes the lackluster going nowhere story to fail but rather the Jacob Lince (as Nathan) utterly terrible lack of ability to portray an autistic person. Autism is a hard thing to portray but I have seen other actors do a far more convincing job. Most famous would of course be Dustin Hoffman, playing alongside Tom Cruise as his brother in "RAIN MAN". Then we had Madison Ford (as Nathans opiate addicted sister,Laura) and all she did was act like your typical millennial spoilt, bad attitude modern day brat! I could feel no sympathy for her character at all even though having to look after an older autistic sibling would normally have you feeling bad for her in at least a small way...Nope...NO way...just couldn't! Also! I don't think it was make-up intentional or anything but she looked absolutely wrecked/ill/drab all through the film. I had to force myself to complete the film view to the end. All I could find good about this poor offering was the periodical fantastic views of mountain scenes and oddly eroded shaped rock towers etc. If you are having trouble sleeping then this is the film to watch...you will nod off in 10-20 minutes, if not sooner. Yet another time in my life that would have been better spent watcjing paint dry!

Very slow paced and boring, and in the end nothing really happened. It feels like a 10th of a story that is just being stretched out. No story, no finale, nothing worth watching, unless you are into slow depressing music.

It's a simple story of brother and sister, told in a big bold way. Worth the watch. The performances are wonderful. The movie's visuals are interesting. Both moving and relatable.

You have to understand that when people give up hope, they have nowhere to turn. Never destroy hope and love, as it is what all of humanity holds on to and holds dear. If you think that the world is hopeless, give in to help and seek the advice of others that are older and wiser to show you the way... A young autistic man struggles with his teenage opiate-addicted sister, and together they risk their lives to find a fictitious kingdom with the potential of changing their lives forever. This movie is quite poignant and relative, in that it points to basic humanitarian needs of Maslow's Hierarchy of Power Pyramid. I would also utilize the five stages of Thanatology or grief as well. Cheers! Murf.

The story potential itself was beautiful and they completely wasted it. As the Autistic character himself is in fact Autistic, I didn't judge him on his acting...but if he had good director, a better script, a better coach, a better acting cast and a better editor - his character would've come across more beautifully. Because, he is in fact, a beautiful person and the movie totally missed the potential of exploring his mind in the film. The cinematography, the acting (from other actors), the score...just awful. It was painful to watch. And as an Autistic surrealist professional artist, I saw so much more that could've been done. It could've been like Eternal Sunshine meets What Dreams May Come. The location was too bland. Whoever the scouts were didn't do a good job. Should've picked the Northwest, Montana, or the high desert (totally different than lower desert). I lived in the desert, and while it's beautiful, you can only handle so many brown colors and rocks. Professional filmmakers know how to make the desert brilliant without boring the viewer. Tent Rocks in NM would've been an easy drive and an amazing surrealistic place to film for interesting rocks to lay out as a surrealistic landscape. I get the low budget, but the people who made this just didn't see far enough into what it could've been and it's really unfortunate. And why was the sister obsessively being shot checking her makeup and herself in the mirror in the truck? Were they just trying to fill in time? Why did the sister say "when I get gas" when the truck already had gas? I think these guys spent all their money on the CGI in the first 5 minutes of the film and on the art scenes and then failed the rest. The beginning scene and the art scenes were the only good parts because it wasn't messed up with horrible actors and music. Stop giving this film 10 stars just because it's about an Autistic young adult. It failed. An Adult on the Spectrum.

I do not write reviews but I will make an exception this time because it is easily one of the movies that you should not watch. The rating is quite misleading. Waste of time.

Yup, it's one of them, terrible acting, turgid dialogue and pointless scenes. Two stars for having a pop.

The concept had potential. The cinematography was relatively good and the artwork in "The Book" was incredibly good-- and was the part I found most fascinating about the story. However, the actor playing the autistic brother wasn't convincing in the part, his characterization very wooden. The actress tried to pull off her part well but she wasn't given much to work with. Which brings us to the story line. It's more of a long, drawn out slice of life film without much in the way of point or purpose. There's no real plot, no climax, no evident point to the ending. It's not that it wasn't interesting; it did hold my attention all the way through. All through the story I was expecting it to make some kind of point. But in the end it just didn't deliver much of anything. I've seen several films like this. Potential... potential... potential... fizzle... thud. Roll credits. I've said it before: Start with a good script, or don't make the film. But again, kudos to the artist on the book. I kept thinking all the way through the film: if this were real, with a manager the guy could make a living in the art world. Evidently the actual artist does. For me, that book was the redeeming factor of the film. The rest of it... 5 star mediocre (barely).
