Anybody can make a film it seems where the protagonist has a deep dark past, something in their history that has driven them to the point in which the audience joins them in the carnage, mayhem and resolution to come; anybody and everybody has made a film in which the leading role or the anti-hero has a quirk, a certain eccentricity that makes them stand out but rarely do they do it such a way that the characteristics of autism are made to be so dynamic and fully mapped out, explored in a way that the hero is anything but fulfilled and given absolute purpose.

Nobody can snap a finger and make you better; nobody can get inside your head and see the grief that assists the pain that the body feels. When every movement feels like torture, even the briefest glimpse of something bright and hopeful only serves to remind what was lost. It is almost the perfect summing up for Jennifer Aniston’s latest film, Cake.
