Review of Jack of the Red Hearts (2016) by Marc M — 27 Feb 2016

There are too few movies about real life, about the struggles of parenting, especially parenting a special needs child. This story takes two special needs kids - one 18 years old but emotionally broken from her mothers death, and one 11 years old and autistic - and intertwines their lives in a way that brings out the best in both.

Too often "delinquent" teens are written off from being productive members of society before they've had a chance to mature; this movie gives hope for them. And then there's society's general perception of autism: the film gives that a good shake and maybe opens some eyes about what autism really means.

This movie was 5 stars all the way.
