I watched this film yesterday and thought I’d start a thread about it for those who have or will watch it. Very, very interesting to see autism depicted via cinema in other cultures, and in a female character no less. She is level two or three autism (not sure which). I’d rate it one of the very few positive depictions of autism in media that I’ve seen, although her challenges aren’t “sugar coated” either.
Synopsis:
“Young autistic Zen, who lives with her terminally ill mother, has picked up an array of deadly fighting skills from martial arts movies. So when thugs come to extort money from her mother, Zen springs into action and shows them what she’s learned.”
