Ben X

A visually stunning and inventive film about a young autistic man's desperate attempt to function in the society while he finds refuge in a video game where he's more advanced than most. The film's a cautionary tale about school bullying that sends many to suicide each year. While the film's intention's are noble and several issues that needs to be addressed, the film always doesn't work specially the pacing and character development. The mixed use of graphics and live action works well along with the score. The documentary like interviews doesn't always work and the happy ending feels false. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
