I work in this field with developmentally disabled adults and I love when movies like this come out. It really helps others understand these adults and hopefully gain more patients when encountering them out in public situations and in work places.
Maybe I should write a script about my life. I am a middle child with autism that had to raise my younger brother and sister while also taking care of my mom that was struggling with mental health issues and addiction. Ended up in foster care on and off through my life and spent my adult years with partners that relied on me to care for them too in one or several ways. Now at 36 I moved to a new state to care for my mom once again in her senior years. Being single and with no kids it feels like this is who I am, a person whose life was meant to care for others despite my own issue with being high functioning with anxiety.
You should do it. But it’s important to note that while you can choose to make that your purpose- you’re doing it because you had a traumatic childhood that put you in the position to have to take care of others. Now as an adult, you relive that pattern in your relationships. The parent one you can’t help but the partner one you can with recognition and counseling. Your partners are adults and barring medical circumstances, they shouldn’t NEED another adult to care for them. YOU are important too. YOU deserve to take care of you and be a priority and have partners that can be the adult you also are. Food for thought. But so you know- I would definitely read a book about your childhood.
@@RowanMarshmallow thank you, I appreciate your words. I have over the last several years made those connections between my relationships and my childhood. I have been single for a few years now to focus on myself and my own needs as you mentioned. I have come to realize though that the caretaker/guardian role has been so ingrained in me that I gravitate to and attract those that would need it so it's been hard to find a healthy interdependent relationship.
Okay, compliments for the movie and its approach to handling complex sociological situations obviously. But also a shout out to whomever worked on the trailer. It doesn't give away the whole plot and it doesn't talk down to the audience and just.... The person who cut this trailer together needs a moment of recognition, they did well.
Thank you for a movie that normalises that people with intellectual disabilities are sexual like all humans, that like others they get horny, fall in love, want to get married, and can and do have children. All families are complex and tough but being a child with disabled parents is a particularly tough love-hate relationship.
@@reinebautistamercado4286 Wow, so you're into eugenics? You know scientifically you are wrong and that's a very hateful way to view the world. People are people. Just because you don't think they are doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.
I was gonna say "wow, Mcenna Grace grew up so fast!" But then I saw the cast list...it's Kiernan Shipka from Adventures of Sabrina - I get them mixed up all the time
Am I the only one who got allready moved ( tears) from this trailer ..? I know for certain that I have a box of tissues next to me when I watch this movie.😅
@@mariamariafujoshiinurarea2524 Oh wow! I am happy that you don't regret it. That must have been very hard. I don't know if I could ever be that strong....😔
looks like a comfort movie. i'll notice right away what a good cast there is. i'm impressed. i hope the film will be interesting and will be able to gain more popularity! i'm waiting for it!
@@charaznable8072 It does really remind me a lot of Coda. Very similar story, although this is more about her putting the responsibility on herself than her family doing it.
She also needs to be in either a 60s or 70s themed movie as well, where she's a dancer of that time, and judging by the dance videos she did behind the scenes on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, she can pull it off.
This looks brilliant, and sad, and poignant, and hopefully insightful. It already made me cry watching the trailer. I am autistic and have ADHD and whilst not disabled, sometimes I feel like a child or am child-like in some of my emotional reactions. I have a 6 year old son. I hope he gets to always be a kid round me as he continues to grow up. It's great that they've made a film about this. I can't wait to see the whole thing.
In a lot of ways the premise of this film reminds me of CODA in that both have a female protagonist who has to make sacrifices to take care of her disabled parents.
I see what you’re saying. And surely I hope the model changes. But! A good but. Speaking from my personal experience having a marriage and children with disabilities, the perspectives in this movie are different. It happens in unrepresented movies as well (the storyline repetitions). This is only the beginning for actual authentic storytelling of realistic life in a fun dramatic romantic way.
Wow, that would be a tough situation. I really like Kiernan Shipka and was impressed with her acting even when she was on Mad Men. I still remember the scene where she's distraught about her grandpa dying...wonder how old she was there. I remember also seeing her way back on an episode of Monk as an outspoken/demanding six or seven year old.
I was about 10/11 when my dad taught me to drive in A.P. that's Agua Prieta. Driving on the dirt roads with a shotgun. Her name was Julieta. My chest never recovered. Learned to shoot a shotgun at 12.
@@saraosorio553 Absolutely! It's INSANE all of the things she TOOK CARE OF and was RESPONSIBLE for! ALL THE WHILE keeping her grades UP HIGH, not just in regular classes but AP CLASSES! WHILE playing sports, WHILE working a FULL TIME JOB! Most people couldn't handle all that! 😬 I hope she gets EVERYTHING she EVER wanted! She deserves the world! 💙
Happy go lucky vibes aside, this is eerily similar to my life story. Father was in an accident with a drunk driver when he was a child and the crash disabled him, mother born with a disability.they met in high school and had me immediately. Growing up was realizing I was the adult at 12 and responsible for them since they could barely make adult choices. So uh yeah this is a bit spooky to me, because the car scene is a thing that happened too, my dad tried to teach me to drive when I was 9, and he was not very nice about it. Almost ran away three times until I turned 20 and really did leave because they were not kind people.
oh, wow just wow... this is how my life went although my mother who was a single parent, didn't have much of a disability but suppose she did, she however for most of my life was an addict and I gave up my dreams to take care of her, which was a 24/7 job, and I would do it all over again, she was my mom... I will certainly see this flick.

Gain more Patience. I agree as well.
@@rwebster1234 hold on, maybe he really does want more patients
And not be racially discriminated when they also disabled.
Nope.

Do it! I Thinks it would be a really compelling story, and I hope you do write it! 🥰

You honestly sound like you have had an exciting life ❤ that would make a great movie
Boringggggggggg
i'm glad she is finally getting a real movie to act in
Shes been in plenty real movies tho
SM Cinema 2023
Yeah nobody write what happens after “happily ever after” right?…
@@ndo533 Since Mad Men I've only seen her in roles making her pretty or glamorous and not very real. Admittedly I haven't seen everything.
Mas men was her only real acting gig, the rest was silly commercial shit
Kiernan Shipka is such a great actress! Hope to see her in more movies and tv shows :)
Yo igual me encanta ❤️
You're in luck. She's in everything these days.
Okay, compliments for the movie and its approach to handling complex sociological situations obviously.

I don't know, I kind of got the entire plot from this trailer.
Um, it gives away the whole plot.
Did you make the trailer? I liked it
Thank you for a movie that normalises that people with intellectual disabilities are sexual like all humans, that like others they get horny, fall in love, want to get married, and can and do have children. All families are complex and tough but being a child with disabled parents is a particularly tough love-hate relationship.
And the fact both parents are being portrayed authentically makes it even better!!! The actors each have a disability.
Have you ever seen "I am Sam"? Similar premise. Great movie.
There's a film called Mozart and the Whale (2005) which is also a love story involving disabled people.
If it's a genetic defect, then they shouldn't have children. If they do, then that's irresponsible and doesn't serve the greater good for humankind.

i didnt notice until this comment!
*SAME!*
Am I the only one who got allready moved ( tears) from this trailer ..?
I know for certain that I have a box of tissues next to me when I watch this movie.😅
No tears, but definitely think this one looks good
ffs, I was literally wiping a tear away when I started scrolling after watching the trailer and saw your comment
Check out Why me? The Bob Lamonta Story.
This actually looks really good. Never heard of s movie that focuses on this topic. It's highly under represented and talked about
"Shoot for the stars and you'll hit the roof."🤣😂
I think he said "shoot for the stars, hunt for the moon".. no?
Right! I have a million bumps on my head 🤯
I know what it's like to have parents that are way behind everyone else.
Mary and Joseph were retards?
Man, where have you been! I have been calling you for days!
Jesus Christ is that you?
At least your dad knows who the real bad guys in the world are, mine believes the lies of the Democrat media. -_-
Preach!
We watched her grow up. She is a serious actress now.
Godspeed Kiernan
"WE ARE A FAMILY. BUT ONE OF THESE DAYS YOUR GONNA MOVE OUT, GET MARRIED. THAT'S WHAT KIDS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO." 💔😢
And sometimes the kid gives up on all of that for the sake of their family. I chose to stay and I don't regret it
@@mariamariafujoshiinurarea2524 Oh wow! I am happy that you don't regret it. That must have been very hard. I don't know if I could ever be that strong....😔
Um, no it's not getting married is a choice
@@prnst4r HUH? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!?!
Wow. This actually looks incredible.
Wow, this actually looks TRASH! Fck movies you be watching?
@@kwesisarpong1224 WTF does that mean?
I love Kiernan! She's so talented and awesome! ❤
looks like a comfort movie. i'll notice right away what a good cast there is. i'm impressed. i hope the film will be interesting and will be able to gain more popularity! i'm waiting for it!
I love kiernan shipka! Can't wait to see her in something new. I loved her since the first time I seen Flowers in the Attic.
Love it already... Reminds me of my life🥺😥🤯 I looked after my parents since a very young age ... It is a hard life till one finds true love
Sooo glad she’s back. I’ve been having Shipka withdrawals
lmaoo girl me too
Looks like a mix between Lady Bird and Coda. Great to see Kiernan leading a movie. Don't think I've seen her in anything since Sabrina.
Reverse I am sam?
@@charaznable8072 It does really remind me a lot of Coda. Very similar story, although this is more about her putting the responsibility on herself than her family doing it.
😂😂😂😢😢 Your comment just made me realize that was her, i thought she was Mckenna Grace.
I didn't know a trailer could bring tears...
Children who are carers for their parents, have an important story to tell. Soooo glad it is done well here. Thank you
Watched this girl grow up on Mad Men and between Sabrina and now this it is nice seeing her spread her wings. This looks terrific.
She also needs to be in either a 60s or 70s themed movie as well, where she's a dancer of that time, and judging by the dance videos she did behind the scenes on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, she can pull it off.
She was still only 13 when Mad Men ended 😅

Autism and ADHD are disabilities.
Kiernan Shipka is becoming quite the acting force of nature.

Exactly what I thought!

Edit: speaking from my disabled perspective about my experience having a marriage and kids
looks good, glad the sabrina girl from netflix is getting some good films to work in
Trailer song is “Find My Way” by Frances Simone 🤙🏼
I SPENT A DAMN HOUR LOOKING FOR WHAT THE SONG WAS! LOL!!!!
Wow, that would be a tough situation. I really like Kiernan Shipka and was impressed with her acting even when she was on Mad Men. I still remember the scene where she's distraught about her grandpa dying...wonder how old she was there. I remember also seeing her way back on an episode of Monk as an outspoken/demanding six or seven year old.
I've been a Kiernan Shipka fan since Mad Men, so I'm really looking forward to seeing this.
I know exactly what this feels like, the story of my life. it really broke my heart to go through it. and im still figuring things out...
This actually looks like a really interesting movie. Looking forward to watching it.
Don’t lie
where can i see it?
That looks great. Definitely gonna give it a watch
finally, something made about something good and uplifting
Omg i love Kiernan. I cant wait to see thiss movie, it looks amazing.
this could be a tear jerker.
This looks so good!
Not a good sign when the trailer brings you to tears
I can’t believe this story was created from a film festival in Toronto!’ 😮😮❤❤
My fave two witches in one film? Ok's, I'm in. This looks good.
We all know we are going to love this movie. 😊👍
Only for Alexandra daddario 😍
She is the real queen 😍
how can a trailer make you cry a river?
I was about 10/11 when my dad taught me to drive in A.P. that's Agua Prieta. Driving on the dirt roads with a shotgun. Her name was Julieta. My chest never recovered. Learned to shoot a shotgun at 12.
This subject definitely doesn't get tackled very much in entertainment.... good to see someone doing it :)
this explaining alot of why the world is the way it is right now lmfao but feeling a good discrete cry coming on from watching this
It is?
I have a disabled aunt

"Wherever we go, this family is our fortress." - Jake Sully, "Avatar: The Way of Water"
“My cabbages!” - Cabbage Merchant, “Avatar: The Last Airbender”
Can’t wait to see this & “Are You There, God? It’s me, Margaret.”
To be honest, I see Kiernan Shipka and i click. Magnificent actress.
When i also see Alexandra Daddario is in this, well ❤️❤️❤️
Ive seen her in petals in the wind it was great cant wait to see it
Kiernan Shipka look fire in this movie
i have a good feeling about this one, also not just the idea of the movie but more things resembling coda which was literally the best picture winner
this was soooo good, didn't even know that it was based of real life events :)
top of the world performance by wes reeve, I can’t seem to find this song, it was played in the movie.
"My shoes hurt.."
A man of culture, I see! Glad I’m not the only one who thought of Mr. Show’s ‘Bob LaMonta’
I liked Kiernan Shipka in Mad Men. She's a good actor.
Can't wait to watch this movie...
Kiernan Shipka. I’m in. 😊
Thank you for reminding me that not only I suck but also the ones next to me is the life I'm going to ruin
What platform can we watch or rent this movie on in Canada- can’t find it?
I'm surprised no one has brought up the book/movie My Louisiana Sky! That's immediately what I thought of. Tiger Ann.
As a person with multiple different disabilities, movies like this make me feel seen.
This might be a good one and it’s nice to see something different.
still waiting for Kiernan Shipka and Mckenna Grace to play sisters in a movie
Totally ;)
I want to see a movie in which Kiernan Shipka and Mackenna Grace play sisters
Looks like nice drama movie with inspiring moments 😊
The continuing adventures of Sally Draper? I'm in!
i mean they managed to buy a house together so clearly they're not entirely helpless
NOT EXACTLY........YOU'LL SEE. THEY LIVE IN A VAN FOR A WHILE....😬
and they raised her to be such an incredibly independent and capable adult

@@presleywilson9815 OH ABSOLUTELY! I WASN'T SAYING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THEM OR THE SITUATION AT ALL. I LOVE THEIR STORY. 😊💙
Why am I not shocked Ryan is playing young Kiernan? It went from Mckenna to Ryan!
I can feel happiness with this tightness family
Who’s crying already?
OMG, that's Sally from MAD MEN 🌸💕
Alexandra Daddario is in this flick? I'm watching.
Please this one get an happy ending, it's look like really nice movie too enjoy, they all seem like nice peoples
Saoirse Ronan is such a great actress! Hope to see her in more movies and tv shows :)
This reminds me of the taxichase scene at the end of Escape from New York. Fingers crossed!
yesss i cant wait for this movie
why do I feel guilty for rejecting my mother ... but then again .. she knew very well what she was doing ... THIS HIT SO CLOSE TO HOME ..
Looks like that could be good, thank you for the video.
Thats a tear jerker. Damn you!
kiernan is comiung along nicely huh, also daddario is a plus
i want to watch this!
There are lots of kids who are carers and grew up adult and have yet to enjoy their childhood
I want to see that movie…😢❤😊
The brain joke was great lol
Jean Smart is a national treasure.
Just love Shempka. Love her
That’s my life 😢❤😊 it’s beautiful
Ooh gosh, this looks heavy, in a good way.
Looks like a beautiful story
the movie is wonderful, I love it and will rewatch it
It actually looks really cool!

Imagine as your agent calls you with "Hey dude, there is a film and they need someone to play a disabled father, and your name popped up! Cool right?"
That is different with " disorder issues "present in the film 🎥
❤❤❤
When dose this come out?? I am trying to find it and cant.
I wish this was a book too
Charlie Plummer really has the gentle boyfriend market cornered.
