Richard and Judy - Sigourney Weaver

[madme]

Anyone see this. SW is in a nw film about a lady on the spectrum - sorry if its already been mentioned. Thought she came across really well and clearly had taken a lot of time to try and understand. Judy had never heard of the expression NT . My son liked it. I expected it to be patronising but not so IMO. Anyone else see it?

I have heard it mentioned Snow Cake I think it is called. Don't watch Richard and Judy as Judy gets on my nerves

 

Edited - Found the article I read online. http://www.24dash.com/content/news/viewNew...amp;newsID=9303 looks interesting.

Pleased she got advice from autistic people for the film.

I saw the interview and thought SW gave a very fair, plain speak explanation of ASDs. She did mention she had done alot of research and she said Ros Blackburn helped her enormously. I'm sure The Richard and Judy show is repeated later but I'm not sure which channel.

 

Lil-me I don't watch R and J show because Richard gets on my nerves

Is that the film based upon Ros Blackburn or am I confusing it with something else?

I think you're confusing it with something else. I was led to believe that this is a work of fiction. An autistic mother's daughter dies in a road accident.

Snowcake has been doing the rounds of the film festivals for a while now but they just can't give us a general release date. I have discussed it in other groups and have seen a very good trailer for the film. I for one will be rushing to see it on it's release.

 

If I can dig out the link for the movie trailer, I'll let you know.

The release day for this film is marked on my calendar for the 8th September, unfortunatley I can't remember where I got the information.

 

You can find a trailer here http://www.aspiesforfreedom.com/auttv/ I warn you though, it gives away a chunk of the story.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing it, I think it's gonna be a good 'un.
