	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"An amazingly assembled, superbly acted, strikingly sweet film about Grandin's life"	POS
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"Don't miss it -- especially for Danes' career-defining performance. You'll be looking at the next Meryl Streep"	POS
United States	Barry Garron The Hollywood Reporter	"Danes gives an Emmy-worthy portrayal, at once credible and incredible."	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"This narrative is loyal to Ms. Grandin's credo: emotions are secondary to tangible results. And the result is a movie that is funny, instructive, and also intangibly charming."	POS
Australia	Sydney Morning Herald	"What's striking about Temple Grandin is the absence of sentimentality; no syrupy music, no saccharine climax - just a rich glimpse inside a rare mind."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"Even when the predictably rousing moments come, you may not feel manipulated so much as fascinated"	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"At every turn, Danes and the filmmakers defy convention and expectation, creating not only a true homage to a unique woman, but a cinematic reminder of the way these things should be done."	POS
