Touching and uplifting portrait of an autistic girl, who desperatedly wants to write a Star Trek script.
Subtle, true to life and quite touching. “Please Standby” is an uplifting, gentle portrait of an autistic girl, who desperatedly wants to enter a Star Trek script competition. Will she be able to make her dream wish come true and write her Star Trek script and enter the competition?This movie feels like letting young children ride their bikes for the very first time, slowly disappearing around the corner, where you cant see them anymore. You want to shelter them from any harm, but you have to let go sometimes in order for them to learn to stand on their own two feet.
Dakota Fanning does a good job of portraying a mildly autistic girl, who is trying to break free from her sheltered, yet constrained life. Entering the Star Trek competition is one way of spreading her wings. This story feels like watching puppies fall on their face and climbing up again. Very endearing and with a great uplifting spirit!
Superb movie, my favourite for 2018 so far!
So before I make my armchair movie critic contribution I have to say that the review given by one particular gentleman is absolutely pathetic. I am certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that English is his second language and going by his grammar, very poor at it too! Now the movie. I have been a Dakota Fanning fan since I saw her first in Man on Fire. A naturally talented actress whose talents just grew with her as she grew herself. I found nothing wrong with the movie, the acting, story-line, cinematography and the directing was perfectly fine. This is a movie that highlights the fact that autism is not a handicap and in fact a lot of people with autism have some sort of hidden talents. I highly recommend this movie.
