The TVI Take
1988 Best Picture and Best Actor winner (Dustin Hoffman). Road trip drama centering on autism and fraternal bonds.
Moderate cognitive demands. Educational value from its portrayal of savant syndrome and the complexity of developmental disability, though some representations have dated. Hoffman's performance remains remarkable.
