Sobre este filme

The story chronicles a week in the life of Jane (Louisa Krause) - a bright-eyed young woman in her mid-twenties, living with autism - and her overprotective, and recently engaged older sister, Bianca (Eliza Dushku). When their parents announce that they are selling their house in Queens and moving to the suburbs of New Jersey, they propose the sisters move in together - a suggestion that forces Bianca to re-examine her relationship with her sister. As the two spend more time together, Jane bravely brings up that she wants to find a boyfriend - someone as special as Bianca's fiancé. Bianca goes on the hunt to find her the perfect match, pessimistic that she will find someone accepting of Jane's ""differences."" Unbeknownst to Bianca, her good friend Jack (Gabriel Ebert), a womanizing sous chef who wants to change his ways, becomes enamored with Jane, and goes behind Bianca back to ask her out on a date. As the innocent Jane embarks on new territory, and as Bianca worries that Jane's heart will be broken, they open up a new chapter in their relationship as sisters, and begin to really understand each other for the first time.

I love this movie and watch it over and over again. It gives me hope and I couldn't help but fall in love with the main characters Jane and Jack. I struggle with trying to fit being an autistic female and this made me feel like it's okay to be myself. Unique. Definitely see this movie because you will not be disappointed.

I cried alot. This is an amazing film that rly touches upon the question of whether people with aspergers, like myself, can have a romantic relationship. Such a beautiful film, definetly a must watch.

I loved this movie. I am also a woman with Asperger's. I could really relate to this movie. I like how the moral of the story is to love someone for who they really are. More movies should be like this one.
