3.5/4.0
The film that it needs to be, dark and difficult at times while intimate and safe in other times. Go to Full Review

10/10
Everything works in Nathan's Kingdom. Not only does the movie feature 3D animations, but the narrative itself is tangible, bound to enrapture the audience long past its runtime. Go to Full Review

Aiden L 05/18/2023 reminds me of my good friend nathan and his brother who shall not be named See more 05/16/2020 I love the idea of this film and what it attempted. And while an autistic actor playing an autistic character seems natural on its surface, it makes for anything but a natural performance. In fact, the acting throughout is awful, laughable at times, matched by the poor writing. There is a whiplash, "I hate you, I love you, I hate you" dynamic that leaves the brother/sister relationship tedious instead of complexly endearing. However, amid the failure of writing and acting there are moments of gorgeous artistic achievement. Nathan's fantasy cutscenes are visually enthralling but unfortunately not strong enough to carry the film. If you are living with autism, watch the movie an enjoy as this is the only way this film has gotten positive reviews. See more 04/29/2020 I learned that the filmmakers decided to actually have an autistic actor play the autistic character. That alone is worth the watch. It's a movie that takes its time. I love imaginative movies that transport you, and this definitely does that. I especially was surprised by one of the VFX shots. See more 11/27/2018 Riveting with imagination and left me spell-bounded, it's the best coming of age, fantasy film I've seen in a very long time. A must see! See more 11/18/2018 We loved every second of this movie and were glued to our seats. Nathans Kingdom is dark fantasy about the coming of age in todays real world and it was remarkable. We would watch this film over and over again. See more 11/10/2018 PHENOMENAL STORY! LOVE THAT THE LEAD WAS ACTUALLY AUTISTIC. tHE ACTORS WERE GREAT AND EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS.
