Rating or reviewing documentaries on topics you know nothing about - well, apart from what the documentary has taught you - is always a complicated task. However, I can look at it from a cinematic perspective, and The Reason I Jump is an absolute achievement - a deep dive into the autistic experience, making the most of what this medium can give you in terms of audio and image. The storytelling here is done with so much respect. It’s grounded and open, allowing space and time for each subject to get their moment. So good.

[DokuFest] One of the most inspiring documentaries of this year. Few films have managed to capture in such a subtle and precise way the emotional depth of these young people and their world, which is ours, even if they seem different. The original book takes us on an exciting journey through their thoughts, to understand autism in its complexity. It's a beautiful representation of a world that is part of our society.
