    Explora la mente de un chico con autismo, víctima del bullying en su escuela y obsesionado con un video juego... qué puede resultar de una mezcla así? Bueno, en este caso el resultado fue una pelicula diferente, un tanto perturbadora pero que puede hacer entrar en razón a más de uno. Muy buena! Especialmente el final.

    What a great, out of the ordinary, movie! A boy with Asperger, fan of MMORPG games, has to deal everyday with bullies at school. And what a twist at the end, huh? Plus, one the best opening credits ever!

    i saw the play (Ben x is a Belgian movie) with my school. when it was just a play it was called 'niets' or translated 'Nothing'
    my sister says the movie was great nd i should watch it (i normally hate Belgian movies cuz they are mostly crap: bad acting nd bad script)
    but i'm gonna give this one a chance after all i loved the play although i was the only one =P

    Interesting portrayal of social fobias using CGI. I have some autistic traits myself and it's comforting to see I'm not alone. I probably would have enjoyed the film even more had the focus been less on the experiences of youths. But never the less: an excellent film. I'm glad to see mainstream film-makers finally addressing mental health issues such as Autism and Asperger.

    Surprisingly different than I expected. And better. It was pretty clever and thought provoking. Greg Timmermans looks a lot younger in the film than in real life (he was there after the film).

    Another great Belgian film with an unknown actor playing the role of an autistic young man. Great twist at the end of the story too.

    I have to admit, this movie is really hard.. But essential. It was heavy to touch this kind of subject, but the movie succeed by taking the road not taken, by trying new thing and by not putting all the element in a big drama. Its injust, it's complex, it's true, it's hard adnt they're place for reflexion, lots of reflexion and realism. Really good.

    Exploring the mind of an autistic boy suffering from bullying at school. His own way out at the end is sad, but probably the best he can get. Excellent film!

    Great filming technology, excellent power of observation, brilliant realization. Unluckily in reality films like this doesn't have a happy end but we really appreciate it in this case. We couldn't deal with anymore emotions. Thanks for this unique movie, Nic!

    It's a weird movie, nothing that really impressed me, and the acting was real bad. Like, the story... everyone looked like a bad guy. A retarded mother, retarded daughters and retarded classmates.
