Great job, Cuba!

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2005)

I worked with the developmentally disabled for 15 years and in my opinion Cuba did an excellent job. I could tell he really researched his role because there are so many little things he did that normally one would not notice unless they know something about those with disabilities, such as "stemming" (which he did a lot of). Although Radio couldn't do some of the things a "normal" person could, the things that he could do, he did well and with precision (notice him arranging the basketballs with all the logos on top). Great job, Cuba! You could see his personality change from what it was in the beginning to a more confident person with a purpose in the end. If you liked this movie, then you might want to try "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". Leonardo DeCaprio did an excellent job portraying a boy with autism.
