Please Stand By's reviews
Media reviews
Time
Watching her [Fanning] interact with the world and conquer her anxieties even in the tiniest ways results in a kind of pleasurable relief. She plays Wendy as a person and not a condition.
Roger Ebert
Director Ben Lewin doesn?t seem to bring any added value to Michael Golamco?s script, but by letting the performers do their best stuff, he makes ?Please Stand By? palatable even in its most commonplace moments.
Vulture
From the above you can tell that Please Stand By is thoughtful in how it dramatizes the consequences of autism. The movie is a little stiff, though.
New York Times
There?s nothing wrong with choosing cute over challenging (...) Wendy herself is a completely credible character: bright and forthright.
Variety
If you?re looking for an old-fashioned, feelgood indie, attractively played, with a very light dusting of ?issues,? ?Please Stand By? is a pleasant standby.
