Review of Rain Man (1988) by Robyn M — 28 Aug 2012
RAIN MAN is a quiet, understated gem of a film, one that richly rewards the patient viewer with an unforgettable emotional experience. Many films that depict those with mental or physical disabilities exploit the character's handicap for quick-fix audience sympathy.
Rain Man never indulges in this. Despite it being responsible for autism becoming part of the common vernacular, the film does not dwell on the affliction's parlor-trick-like aspects.
