Not as easy as it looked

Everything starts escalating with the autistic kid having troubles at school.Well-drawn characters on all sides of the boy's personal realities are certain that they must impose their own way of assisting him, leaving him as a subject without any freedom of choice..The authorities, deciding based on their professional experience and tutoring, responsible to observe rules and regulations, and placing little empathy on human considerations, illegitimately and abusively use their authority to undermine the rights and obligations of parents.the dad, a one man show comedian, who reacts emotionally against authorities, doctors, specialists, knowing rationally that he has to act irrationally to remove the kid from a subordinate law-abiding care system.The mother, conformist, yielding to the authorities to some extent, fighting her own emotions and hysteria to avoid escalating the situation.The grandfather, torn between his son and his wife, worried about the parents and the child, plagued by his own demons as a result of his own failings.This results in an entertaining 90-minute combination of typical atypical personalities portrayed with reason, passion and humour, as well as the personality of the kid attempting to navigate like a fish away from the centre of this unwanted attention.I am sceptical of movies concerning children's psychological issues, mostly because psychology is not an accurate science, like physics, chemistry or mathematics, but it is elevated to the same level of undisputable authority. Those harmed are frequently over-victimized and emotionally manipulated.This was spot on; the director and actors' outstanding performances entirely changed my biased perception.The film, in a beautiful crescendo with no wasted moments and a lot of scenery changes, moves from interesting to capturing my attention to retaining it until the very end.

A Simple, Well-Told Story

I'm a fan of sweet, simple stories with memorable characters and I found all of that in Ezra. Bobby Cannavale turns in a magnificent performance in the role of Max, a struggling standup comic co-parenting his autistic 11-year-old son Ezra with his ex-wife Jenna played by the always fabulous Rose Byrne. When Ezra's outbursts spin out of control at school, a doctor suggests putting him on a special medication. Jenna is receptive to the idea, but Max is having none of it and flees with Ezra, taking him on a cross-country road trip with hopes of appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live. It's a trip that proves life-changing for both Max and Ezra.
