Reviews
|
Observer -
It’s a long haul, but Please Stand By, meticulously directed by Ben Lewin (The Sessions), chronicles the pitfalls, terrors and triumphs of the trip with heart-wrenching realism.

|
Time -
[Fanning] plays Wendy as a person and not a condition.
|
|
Slate -
It’s a relief to see an autistic woman played as more than simply a bundle of symptoms.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
Dakota Fanning's Wendy is less a truly thought-through character than a compendium of quirks.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
It’s hard to be persuasive, though, when your protagonist comes across as a collection of quirky tics rather than a credible human being.
