Ezra

While normally I’m a soft touch for any film about autistic children, one just can’t let something as sappy and annoyingly didactic as this road movie get by without some honest assessment.

This is worthwhile film-making and the performances are solid, but there's too much reliance on the schmaltz factor, especially towards the end. It will be interesting to see what the young actor Fitzgerald does next.

A film that nevertheless deserves to be seen and discussed.

a heartfelt, humorous and sometimes harrowing yarn.

What keeps the story sweet is the chemistry between Cannavale and Fitzgerald, who build a bond worth cherishing.

Heartbreaking and hilarious, Ezra is a contemporary audience-pleaser that inspires laughter and tears, sometimes simultaneously.

Supported by a cast that gives their all to sustain the script, 'Ezra' relies on indie cinema tropes – the journey of discovery; the stand-up comedy scenes that serve as commentary; the usual musical hits – but leaves aside Ezra...[Full review in Spanish]

A nice roadside reminder that no one is perfect. [Full review in Spanish]

Greedy as this sounds, I might have wanted to see more of Ezra than his bickering parents, but if that states anything, we need more films that positively depict neurodivergent characters on screen.

Blends humor and heart so well, providing a funny and moving look at fatherhood and redemption.
