Watch After Thomas For Free

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This was a wonderful programme, great entertainment and a programme which will hopefully lead to help for other autistic children. I saw the real Kyle on television the other day and he really is an inspiration. I appreciate that not all autistic children would be able to respond to a dog in the way Kyle did but surely it is something that should be investigated.It is just sad that Thomas didn't live until after the programme was aired, he would have become a real star in his own right. Maybe homeless dogs should be made available for rehousing to autistic children. A lot of rescue dogs always have extra love to give.Personally I can't think of anything to fault the programme on.

Over the last few years I have developed an interest in working with children on the Autistic Spectrum. I have found all forms of Autism to be the most interesting, complex and distressing conditions a child and their family have to experience and cope with. I watched this film for the first time on TV last night. I thought it was an excellent portrayal of the difficulties experienced by those affected by ASD.I am hoping that lots of people watched and that peoples insight to the awareness and understanding of Autism is broadened through this superb production.

as a mother to two autistic boy, this drama brought back reminders of what we have been through and moved me to tears, when kyle said kyle loves mummy, i remembered the time my son came up to me and said he loved me, it made me cry.the laying down in the road is exactly what my son does too, so much of this was our everyday life such a true to life account of life with autism. i think everyone should watch this as it will bring a better understanding and then families like ours will no longer have the prejudices that we face in everyday life. this drama show's there is hope out there for families that feel they are alone and unsure that this is normal behaviour for a autistic kids.

Kyle Graham is scared. Not of monsters under the bed like any average six year old but of everything. Normal, everyday activities prove terrifying to him.And he can't communicate his fears, or share them with friends, because he can't use language and he has no friends.Kyle is autistic, a condition it took his parents two desperate years to get diagnosed. So his day consists of endless traumas and tantrums… and unimaginable stress for his mum and dad Nicola and Rob.Nicola's fierce determination to break into Kyle's world at any cost has placed an intolerable strain on her marriage. And, her only respite is the unwavering support of her mother Pat and father Jim, who dote on Kyle.Into this setting of seemingly insurmountable conflict comes Thomas, a golden retriever puppy, named after Kyle's favourite character, Thomas The Tank Engine.By the time Thomas is a fully grown dog, Nicola and Rob are hopeful of a breakthrough where all other attempts have failed.The unexpected and devastating blow of Pat's death only strengthens their resolve.But when Thomas becomes ill, the family fear that the progress Kyle has made is about to unravel… A truly touching story and one that will stick in your mind for a long time indeed.
