Review of Temple Grandin (2010) by Chihoe H — 20 Apr 2010
If not for it being a made-for-tv movie, this HBO film would have been a top contender come Oscar night. Temple Grandin is such a prominent advocate for autism, being autistic herself and inventing the hug machine, and also as the person who revolutionized the cattle industry.
This film does her passion for autism, and animal welfare and behaviour, justice. Claire Danes does not simply mimic the real Temple Grandin but adds her own interpretive dimension to every nuance expression and movement she does.
I am a huge fan of Claire and this is by far her best performance. Director Mick Jackson's vision takes us beyond by adding apt illustrations to show how Temple visualizes her surroundings. A must-see for fans of the woman or the actress, or for an insight into the relevant topics.
This movie will move you, anger you, inspire you, illicit some kind of response from you, but it will never disappoint you.
