	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Not special enough (...) Acting, at least, is solid from the ensemble cast (...) And from top to bottom, the film is professionally assembled"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Not a very compelling movie. It’s arduous and rambling and repetitive (...) [It] lacks a vibrant structure, but more than that, it never brings us close to the people it shows us"	NEG
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"A powerful and accomplished film (...) 'The Specials' is a rare film that comes both from the heart and reality"	POS
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"A stirring, heartfelt and powerful fiction (...) It’s a fascinating film and is one that’s personal to Toledano who has a family member with autism."	POS
