This gently humorous, fiercely honest indie film is a step forward in the quest for a move inclusive Hollywood, which seems to one of the themes of the cultural moment. Apr 5, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Keep the Change may be a breakthrough in its focus on real people with intellectual disabilities, but it's especially commendable for providing positive examples of how the nondisabled can create inclusive environments for all. Mar 29, 2018 | Full Review…

What distinguishes it are Israel's empathetic characterizations - she's known Polansky for 15 years - and the winning performances, not only by the leads but also by the supporting players. Mar 21, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

[It] accomplishes a much more difficult task: When the movie starts, its main characters seem outside the norm, unusual, "wierdos," in the description of David himself. By its end, you see nothing at all of that; they're just people. Mar 19, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

"Keep the Change" is not a seamlessly crafted movie, but it's awfully tenderhearted and thoroughly disarming. It deserves to be widely seen. Mar 15, 2018 | Full Review…

The complex portrayal of autism is refreshing, but apart from the milieu and the charisma of the cast, this is a fairly standard indie rom-com. Oct 20, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The film has a genuine openness, but it never limits the pair's interaction - in their own way they must negotiate everything from David's biased parents to sharing a sex life. Sep 7, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
