    The Lego Movie

    ★★★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    A film that never takes itself seriously yet can still tug at the heartstrings when it wants to, “The Lego Movie” is certainly a must-watch if you want to be in a good mood (or ARE in a good mood). Released in 2014, “The Lego Movie” tells the story of Emmet, who is prophesized as “The Special” (read: chosen one) and now must embark on a journey to save the world from the tyrannical Lord Business.

    ★★★★

    A dark dramedy that would very much warrant a PG-13 rating - it is apparently not yet rated in the US - I'd say the film has some of the best representation of Autism Spectrum Disorder (or Asperger's Syndrome as it was known then) I've ever seen, speaking as an autistic person myself. Max is an otherwise very relatable character; socially awkward to the (here it comes) *max*, has trouble understanding the language and expressions of others, gets anxious real…
