What keeps the story sweet is the chemistry between Cannavale and Fitzgerald, who build a bond worth cherishing.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's very amusing when it's amusing, but really heart wrenching when it's heart-wrenching.

Granted, it leans on clichés here and there... but considering the alternative, a layered neurodivergent character can be considered progress.

Rated: 2.5/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Rightfully so, the prevailing message of Ezra becomes seeing your kid’s needs and celebrating their strengths, no matter the traits or labels.

Rated: 3/5

We loved this movie and highly recommend it. We thought all of the actors did a great job. We liked the focus on the relationships between these characters and that they were not always nice and neat. The filmed did a very good job of showing conflict between characters and the struggles people have to understand a neuro-divergent population. Two thumbs up.
