Review of Asperger's Are Us (2016) by Shadowlord08 — 28 Jan 2021
It wasn't the worst documentary I seen but it wasn't good either. I do respect the group's dedication to their comedy but the comedy itself fell flat and I found the documentary's attempt at trying to connect the audience to the four main guys as forced and contrived.
It felt like the documentary was trying to make the comedy troupe and people with Asperger's come across as special instead of simply treating them as regular people. As someone on the spectrum, I find that bad and a bit alienating.
I don't want to be treated or seen as special or anything wildly different, I just want to be like everyone else. All in all, the documentary was okay but not good. It was just meh, nothing more and nothing less.
