Owen Suskind and His Parents Talk About the Autism Documentary “Life, Animated”
Owen Suskind tells me, “It feels interesting to be on the autism spectrum and fascinating.” His parents remember what he has said to them about how it feels to have autism. Ron Suskind reminds him, “Remember you said you see everything at once and you can remember all the moments in your life, maybe too many moments, but you go across them and you get a sense of what?”
“My place in the world,” Owen answers.

Alex Gibney on the Stuxnet Documentary “Zero Days”
You will not see a more purely terrifying movie this year than "Zero Days," a documentary from Alex Gibney ("Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room," "Going Clear," "We Steal Secrets"), one of my favorite filmmakers. He spoke to journalists along with Eric Chien and Liam O'Murchu, two of the film's most important figures, the men who discovered what they dubbed the Stuxnet computer virus, which turned out to have been developed by the Unites States and Israeli governments to unleash on the...

The Secret Life of Pets
Most of us probably think -- or wish -- that our pets are like Max (voice of Louis CK) in "The Secret Life of Pets" who lives with Katie (Ellie Kempner). "I've got big plans," he tells his neighbor Gidget (Jenny Slate). "I'm going to sit here by the door and wait for Katie to come home."
But we know better. We've come home to inexplicable disarray and disappearance. And in this cute romp filled with colorful characters we get to find out about the parties, the mischief, and the adventures...

Zero Days
If I could require every candidate running for office to see one movie, it would be "Zero Days," the most terrifying movie of the year. It is the story of the Stuxnet virus developed by the US and Israeli governments to infect the nuclear facilities in Iran. As one of the experts in the film notes, for thousands of years combat was carried out by the army on land and the navy on the water. In the 20th century, battles moved into the air, and so we needed an air force. And the development of...

Life, Animated
Temple Grandin described her experience of trying to understand social interaction as a person with autism: like an anthropologist on Mars. The kinds of social cues that come naturally to neurotypicals can seem strange and even disorienting to people on the autism spectrum, who may be overwhelmed with undifferentiated input that makes it even more difficult to understand the mood and motives of the people around them. "Life, Animated," based on the
