Review:
A neurodivergent kid, raised in isolation by his mentally-ill father, is forced to finally leave the house which has been his only surrounding after his father swallows a shotgun. He moves in with distant family and, as they’re trapped by an oppressive normality and world-weariness, his childlike oddity proves inspirational to them. I really didn’t appreciate it but the neurotypicals say it’s “uplifting”.
