DISABILITY Autism

COUNTRY USA

LENGTH 140

GENRE Road movie

DIRECTOR Barry Levinson

CAST Dustin Hoffman

Tom Cruise

Valeria Golino

Jerry Molen

NOTES Cruise exploits his autistic brother (Hoffman). Many

entertaining situations which made this a main stream

Hollywood success. But the acting is good , especially from

Cruise who perhaps has the harder role. Useful to remember that not all autistic people are like Hoffman's character.
