Title: Very watchable- at least to me
Review: Like one other reviewer, I too feel that the directors should be given credit for dealing with a rather sensitive issue ie autism. Miko Hughes I think did a wonderful job portraying Simon, who is an autistic savant. I think his acting was real and yet not overdramatic. For me, the best part of the movie IS "Simon". However, the movie itself is watchable as a whole. OK, so it may not be 100% realistic and there may be "gaps" as someone mentioned. But to me, that's really ok as these inadequacies can be overlooked. Unless you're one of those people who only like watching movies for the artistic or "intellectual" quality, Mercury Rising is great!
