The director and actress deliver these parts of the story well, showing the audience of what she’s interested in or what seem to be bothering her. Another reason this movie should be awarded is because it showed us the main chapter of her life. We know what her daily routine was from the little girl Temple to adult Temple. It was clear that she doesn’t like to be touched by

    Temple Grandin is a biopic movie produced by Scott Ferguson, that was released on February 6, 2010. Temple Grandin (starring actress Claire Danes) was born August 29th, 1947.
