At its core, there is a fascinating and unique story of one child's difficult-to-understand world, and his parents who are being dragged into compassion, kicking and screaming all the way.

The soundtrack is a good'un and the scenes of Cumbria are beautiful. If only the script had fewer clunky sex scenes and more told from Joe's perspective.

In its fearless specificity, The A Word is universal, even as it shines light on the special challenges autism imposes on that child and everyone around him.

If The A Word sounds dark and depressing, it isn't. Joe's autism is the central plot point, but this is also a messy soap opera about a family that's always butting heads.
