    Come As You Are

    ★★★½

    Heartwarming and hilarious, raw and well spoken. I always enjoy movies that showcase the lives of those with disabilities in a non exploitative punch line context, and instead focus on the everyday struggles and lifestyles of those individuals. Being neurodivergent myself it has a soft spot in my heart.

    An interesting premise that slowly lost itself over the course of the movie. The attraction between the cop and the suspect is startlingly strong but rushed, and the suspense begins to fall short and get repetitive until you’re just slightly bored and confused. If the pacing was fixed it would hit better but not a bad dark romance.
