Keep the Change

This movie was so unexpectedly refreshing, I watched it all over again. I really loved the actor who played David and was shocked to not be able to find him anywhere else. Guess I'll just have to watch this again from time to time.

I have a family member with this type of autism. This movie depicts the reality of the challenges faced by this community. It is difficult to understand that "normal" people function on a different spectrum. This movie is very moving and offers a peak into a world which we don't really want to acknowledge.

I have been watching a lot of Amazon Prime movies, during the quarantine. Many of them are boring, cliche and painful to watch. Fart jokes, poop humor, no class. This movie is a simple story about 2 vulnerable people finding a supportive and loving partner. And even though one lives with an alcoholic grandmother, and one would seem to be leading a privileged life, they both desperately need each other. I love these kind of movies that explore human nature, and have true emotions. Some of the movie is politically incorrect, which may offend some, but made it more enjoyable for me.

It's a delicate balance to make a comedy about the disabled community without being overly cautious or insensitive. Keep the Change is a marvel in this way, never ignoring its character's realities, yet staying beautifully relatable to anyone dealing with insecurity or identity. David & Sarah are endlessly lovable & compelling, & they carry the film with grace & humor. It mostly doesn't force emotions; when it does, the obvious moments of ableism are a bit obnoxious, but the subtle ableism is pointed.

Yes a brilliant mvie about love and acceptance since we all feel different and outsiders and yet ache for love and acceptance and this movie is about that .how we accept each other even though we are all a little different and letting love be the bridge to each other

Other than the loose cinematography, clearly cut-in shots of people saying their lines outside the natural stream of the conversation, and two moments of why didn't they reshoot the scene, this is an interesting and funny rom-com that's a bit of a farcry from what I'm used to. There were multiple moments in Keep the Change when the audience collectively laughed. There were a few moments when I felt the urge to cover my mouth and silently release my own laughter as to avoid drawing glares from the audience. Yep, it's got some dark jokes. Damn good ones at that. I may have a problem with the cinematography, but the cameramen really focused on the right things at the right moment. It's the shots that really let me feel like the love interest had autism. Nevermind how she conversed. It was the way she touched. Y'all know what scene I'm talkin' about. About the ending... it was a happy ending with such a degree of contextual sadness that I felt conflicted as the credits rolled.

This movie was phenomenal! Thank you director Rachel Israel for making such a touching movie. I have a few experiences with people on the Autistic spectrum, including a makeshift stepson with whom I helped raise for a few years. And now I'm married to a beautiful woman with a grown son (Adam 36) with Aspergers. Adam lives with us and it took some 'doing' but I assisted him in acquiring his first and only job. He's been gainfully employed for over 5 years now. Please see this movie... "KEEP THE CHANGE" IS A 10 STAR PRODUCTION FOR SURE!

Set in contemporary NYC, a love story anyone can relate to. Much of the scenes take place at the social skills group where Sarah & David meet. Main characters and secondary ones are presented realistically as folks with challenges and joys, trying to their way in the world. Characters have rough moments & sweet & funny ones too. The symptoms of autism are secondary, the work of being in relationships with others is well told.

This is a special movie that warmed my heart. It also shows the challenges faced by people with special needs and disabilities. I am hoping for a sequel.
