Review of Please Stand By (2018) by Giorgio G — 24 Feb 2018

Please Stand By and let me do my thing.

Dakota Fanning, Alice Eve, Patton Oswalt, and Toni Collette.

Even a special needs kid shows a lot of creativity, passion and potential.

Fanning is so excellent playing a girl who needs monitoring but wants so badly to win a Star Trek script contest for $100,000 so she wont burden her sister anymore and so she can be close to her niece.

After their mother died her sister took her in as long as she could.

For Wendy she feels so much like Spock meaning that it's hard for her to express her emotions and be more logical and articulate than most.

She runs away to submit her script braving her own independence.

'the purpose of the universe is to conquer it, not be afraid of it'.

She's boldly going where she hasn't before and even her sister is amazed by how resourceful she is.

Having autism or not Wendy is still very talented.

This almost made me tear up at one point, too.

It's one of her best performances to date.
