A dramatic, romantic comedy, "Mozart and the Whale" is inspired by the lives of two people with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, whose emotional dysfunctions threaten to sabotage their budding romance. Donald (Josh Hartnett) is a good-natured but hapless taxi driver with a love of birds and a superhuman knack for numbers. Like many AS sufferers, he likes patterns and routines. But when the beautiful but complicated Isabelle (Radha Mitchell) joins the autism support group he leads, his life-and his heart-are turned upside down. The screenplay is by Academy Award winner Ron Bass. The film is directed by award-winning director Petter Naess. Executive producers are Andreas Thiesmeyer, Josef Lautenschlager, Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort and Trevor Short. Producers are Robert Lawrence, Frank DeMartini and James Acheson. The creative team includes director of photography Svein Kroevel, editor Miklos Wright, production designer Gary Steele and costume designer Ha Nguyen. The film, an Equity Pictures Mediafonds/Robert Lawrence production in association with Millennium Films and Swingin’ Productions, Inc. stars Josh Hartnett, Radha Mitchell, Gary Cole, Allen Evangelista, Sheila Kelley, Erica Leerhsen, John Carroll Lynch, Nate Mooney, and Robert Wisdom. --© Official Site [More]

Scott Weinberg

Shapeless and redundant, this flick is exactly the sort of movie you'd envision if I said "mildly retarded yet physically gorgeous young romance."

Strong performances anchor this low-key romantic drama about two people with Asperger syndrome.

Todd McCarthy

From the first, there is a refreshing absence of special pleading or under-the-microscope examination in Naess' approach.
