Rain Reign is a movie about Rose, who’s a 12 year old neurodivergent girl who loves homonyms(words that sound the same but have different meanings), prime numbers, and following the rules. She lives with her single dad who tries his best to take care of her, with some help from his brother.
Her dad comes home one night with a dog he found and tells her it’s a gift for her. She names the dog Rain.
One day Rain goes missing after a storm, and Rose is desperately determined to find her.
I loved the relationship between Rose and her uncle (Paul Rudd). Her father (Jeremy Sisto) wasn’t very likable, but he was going through a lot. (Losing his wife, struggling with his job, plus the challenges of raising a kid who is neurodivergent)
This film made me cry during multiple scenes. It was quite a moving movie and one of my favorites of the festival. I don’t have much familiarity with neurodivergent people, so I can’t say if this film shows an accurate portrayal. I’m curious to find out what other people think.
