Unsolvable problems

X + Y (2014)

Directed by Morgan Matthews this film stars Asa Butterfield, Sally Hawkins, Rafe Spall, Eddie Marsan and Jo Yang. A boy with Autism and a strong interest in mathematics struggles to deal with social interactions.

This is a pretty good look into the struggles of one boy with autism and I especially liked the gentler approach it takes. It would be very easy for the film to go with a more dramatic and extreme plot but this feels like a much more human story. There are good performances from all the cast making this a very decent watch.


4/5
