Jimmie
Kathy is a single mother who is reluctant to have her 17-year-old autistic son Jimmie return to a home. She takes him in, even though everyone dissuades her from doing so. She is forced to accept that her proximity to Jimmie does not have the desired effect for his progress. On the contrary, his reactions to the unfamiliar situation are fierce, taking her to her limits time and again. The only thing that makes Jimmie feel comfortable is swimming: his greatest passion. When the swim coach discovers his talent, new prospects seem to open for him.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a poignant narrative around the exhausting duality of care—unconditional love clashing with relentless daily reality. It explores the limits of sacrifice with raw, understated performances that carry the emotional weight.
What lingers after the credits is a profound respect for resilience and a sobering acknowledgment of its cost. The film’s power lies in its refusal to offer neat resolutions. — MovieFinder Editorial
