Really looking forward to this film. I can't think of many bad things that Stephen Daldry has directed.

Well apparently this one sucks hard, someone tweeted just this afternoon that after 20 minutes he turned off a screener of it.
Probably War Horse levels of heightened BS emotion.

Well yeah, I think you can quickly tell whether it's your thing or not, looking at the trailer, but hey it's NYE, so time to get all warm and fuzzy :D

I saw the trailer for this, at Xscape in Milton Keynes, and was not too impressed.

I have Asperger's syndrome myself and was immediately turned off by the trailer. I very much dislike the idea of my condition being sentimentalised like this. For a much better depiction, go and read "The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night-time", a far more subtle effort. My mother expressed an interest but frankly I have no desire whatsoever to see this.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

People have been complaining about this film getting a Best Pic Oscar nomination

I suppose a lot of that is down to Drive not being nominated.

Drive's too "arthouse" perhaps especially with the new rules stating that only those films ranked first by at least five percent of voters would make the cut.
