Our take

Asperger’s Syndrome is not an easy topic—and not one typically suited to a comedy, but this feature debut avoids trivialization with its wonderful characters and atmosphere. Starring Bill Skarsgård in a terrific performance, Simple Simon is a romantic comedy that is warm, funny, and deeply profound.
