Featured review
Quite a nice NYC story in this independent movie.
I have access to online movies via Kanopy through my public library. I was looking for something to pass the time away during this quarantine period and decided to give this one a try. I wasn't expecting much.
However what I found is a really nice movie about a 20-something young lady in New York with Aspergers. She is Jane, played by Louisa Krause in a way that reminded me of Claire Danes playing Temple Grandin. Her older sister, a Broadway actress, is very protective of her but Jane is very determined to blaze her own way.
Looking up her filmography I now realize I have seen Louisa Krause in a number of different movies but in non-memorable roles. I will remember her for this one, she is really outstanding.
