Autism: The Musical (2007)

My Rating

Movie Info

At a time when one in 150 children born in the United States is diagnosed with autism, filmmaker Tricia Regan takes an optimistic approach to this troubling trend by following five autistic children as they write and produce their very own full-length musical. Show over the course of an entire year, this documentary follows the ambitious production from early planning to opening night. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

As flip and gaudy as that title might sound, this spare little movie is actually one of the most candid, down-to-earth, organically inspirational documentaries you'll ever see.

It's an eyes-wide-open account of tenacity and triumph for parents and children alike. Considering the dramatic rise in the number of children born with autism, it's a film that everyone should see and appreciate.

Audience Reviews for Autism: The Musical

Autism the Musical definitely makes you think about the way that autism is currently regarded and proves that there are very alive people under a sometimes distant exterior--as shown through the 5 main kids highlighted in this documentary. I felt kind of bad

These kids aren't autistic - they're ugly, rude and racist. Adding insult to injury these non autistic children didn't even write the soundtrack!!!! Hello - I want my money back. Wyatt - the love interest - sums things up best, "100% of kids are retarded." Thank you Wyatt.
