The Specials's reviews
Media reviews
El Mundo
The idea of the directors is that the different appears not as the exception but as the rule of measuring the world.
Screen Daily
"Opening a door into the world of teenagers and young adults who are profoundly autistic, The Specials is clearly a personal film, made through Toledano and Nakache?s real-life friendship with its subjects, two indefatigable suppliers of round-the-clock care for those the system has rejected".
The Hollywood Reporter
"Acting, at least, is solid from the ensemble cast, which is a mixture of professionals and non-professionals and which includes a few people with autism as well. And from top to bottom, the film is professionally assembled, even managing to infuse a little gloss into otherwise pretty gritty surroundings. As in all of the directors? films, music plays a major role and the percussion-heavy score at least".
