Drive Me to the End

source: Drive Me to the End

This film was so well written. It was really heartfelt and made me laugh out loud even when the subject matter seemed dark. I loved the two main characters and really feel for them throughout. Especially at the moment when everyone is going through something I'd really recommend people give this a watch. A lovely film with a great soundtrack!

If you want to watch a much superior film with a similar story line then check out Wedding Partners and skip this dreck. Of course the female is gorgeous and available and ends up giving our protagonist a hand job while he is driving. How classy. Then despite talking about barely being able to afford a decent hotel room, our protagonist goes to a bar and starts buying drinks. Suddenly money is no object. I knew the minute he offered her a drink she would get trashed. Stop insulting the viewer's intelligence with this garbage!

WOW! Just wow. I was blown away....loved every minute of it. I felt like I was in the journey with you and could also resonate with so many things. The part where Ryan said if you had a boyfriend would he be autistic too, that hit me deep cause I get it all the time....people think disabled people can only be loved by other disabled people, like we are not worthy of love from anyone fully abled. I fell in love with Ryan's character and how he was open to learn and accept. Also see the good, positive parts of Sunny's character! Such a emotional storyline that had me hooked. Loved it.

I really enjoyed this film! It's simple and proves once again that a good story with excellent acting always wins. It's heartwarming, emotive and leaves you feeling good. Being British myself, I particularly enjoyed the humour they've sprinkled through out too. I was super impressed by the acting of both Richard Summers-Calvert and Kate Lister. Lister's role was challenging yet she played it to perfection! Well done. Definitely worth watching, you'll be glad you did!

2 leads played off one another very well, a film centered around just 2 people can be often difficult to follow and at times boring but Drive me to the End absolutely blows it out of the water. Never a dull moment, a rollercoaster of emotions. Bravo

A great story of two people who start as strangers and end with a wonderful bond by the end of their journey together. Richard Summers-Calvert dons many hats and excelled in all of them. A wonderful cast and high praise for Kate Lister's portrait of a young woman with autism that didn't rely on poorly executed tropes. There were some truly touching moments mixed in with some wonderfully laugh out loud moments (The mushroom stamp scenes were particularly hilarious.).

This movie is so simple and I mean that in the best of ways, it's not full of convoluted storylines that stray from the plot. It focuses and relies on beautifully crafted characters and it put a huge smile on my face. Honestly love this film and it's a beautiful portrayal of someone on the spectrum looking for that independence.

Ryan (Richard Summers-Calvert, who also wrote and directed this film) and Sunny (Kate Lister) are estranged family members who find themselves car-sharing to a funeral for an unnamed person in Scotland. They both have issues. Ryan's mother is about to die and Sunny is dealing with autism and coming to terms with a recent suicide attempt. Can these two get along together for three days? Or is this trip doomed? I liked how natural this movie felt and how well the leads played off one another. They both explore and experience so much in just a few days, but you come away rooting for them to win.

I thought the film was fabulous! I loved how at the beginning you had the stereotypical view of autism, but you changed your view by the end. Kate has played a blinder of a role! I work very closely with autistic girls and her mannerisms, anxious twitches and lack of understanding sarcasm was really spot on. I also liked how you touched on her self harming, this is probably the biggest issue autistic females have, and something that isn't generally spoken about. I have had students who have been sectioned in the past due to them self harming because CAMHS don't seem to see the link between autism and their want to "be normal" because autism in females is still looked upon differently. Females present in many different ways to males and you have to be able to see through their "mask". You hit the nail on the head with the line "I need to feel safe and you make me feel safe". I strive to make my students feel the same way, as when they feel safe and their mental health is good, they can achieve anything! So all in all, fabulous job!!
