2019 Directed by Richard Wong
Three young men with disabilities embark on a road trip to a brothel in Montreal catering to people with special needs to lose their virginity and embrace their independence. Inspired by a true story and remake of the Belgian film Hasta La Vista
A roaring comedy about disability. Come As You Are finds new and refreshing ground with a common comedy plotline. With tons of heart and many laughs, this is a must see.
COME AS YOU ARE - Three men with disabilities hire a woman to drive them to Canada so they can visit a brothel and lose their virginity. The film’s three leads are fantastic and the movie does a great job of exploring the infantilization that the disabled can feel in a funny and charming way. #sxsw2019
This was a decent road trip dramedy that could never fully develop a satisfying enough dynamic between its main characters. Despite having some moments, it never gave us enough reason to invest in the characters before losing steam by the end.

Film #16 of SXSW. Great Q&A w/ full cast & crew and Asta Philpot (whom the film is based on). Drafthouse South Lamar.
A wholesome film that takes script and story risks that pay off tremendously. As someone who was once confined to a wheelchair for a long period this film hit the notes of life as a disabled person while avoiding using kid gloves. A brutally funny, sad, and true story that will leave you wondering who is cutting onions in the theater.

Wanted to like this film (haven’t seen the Belgian original), but I couldn’t really get behind any of the 4 main characters. Unfortunately, the film falls into the chasm of confusion between being a road trip comedy and a heartfelt character drama, not fully effective at either. Topping it off with a forced / hollow ending.
