TEMPLE GRANDIN

Temple Grandin - We watched this on On Demand the other night at the recommendation of Nancy London, and it was really wonderful. Clare Danes plays Temple Grandin, a young woman who was diagnosed as Autistic, and whose mother was told it was probably her fault, and that Temple should be institutionalized. The mom, played by Julia Ormond, refused to believe that her child couldn't be taught, and worked with her to teach her and make sure that she attended college and became a self supporting person. This is based on a true story, and the main thing about Temple is that she thinks in pictures. I loved this movie, and recommend it without reservation. Everything about it is top notch.
