Even after 30 years, this satiric romance holds up well. Really quite fun.
Saw I forgot to review this when I finished 2 weeks ago and I already barely remember it. It was cute, light, inoffensive, but forgettable apparently.
Before enrolling in college, famed animal husbandry expert Temple Grandin (Claire Danes) visits a cattle ranch owned by her aunt Ann (Catherine O'Hara) and demonstrates a brilliance for all things mechanical. Once classes begin, the autistic Grandin rises to meet the intellectual challenges -- though the social ones are a bit more difficult. Grandin triumphs over prejudice to become an innovator in the field of animal care, and a lifelong advocate for humane slaughtering practices.
