Absolutely genius, beyond words, incredible acting. This movie opened my eyes and opened my heart and in a big way has changed my perception of the world, my life.

Somehow a simple "like" doesn't seem enough for this clip. This is my favorite scene in an absolutely incredible movie; it says so much about where Temple came from and where she was at this point in her life. And the audience reaction when she tells them she's autistic is just - priceless. Thank you so much for posting this.
