My biggest problem with this movie is that there was no climax or ending twist of any sort. You got exactly what you expected and there was nothing to figure out. It just ends up being exactly what you thought it was, which is basically nothing.
Also I have to say, as a father of a child with autism, this movie actually didn't give me autism vibes at all. The character, to me, didn't seem to portray someone with autism. If ASD was a theme they were trying to talk about in this film, I had no idea until I came here to read the reviews. The film does not specifically mention that the character has autism or use the phrase.
The feeling I got was that he's just a great employee stuck in the rat race (everyone has the same cars) who has a little mental outbreak because the system is crap, not anything to do with autism.
Anyway I felt like I didn't learn anything from this movie. There really was no underlying theme, just the symbolism about the system but no revelation or aha moment. I love this actor but didn't love the film. I felt like it was trying too hard to be weird without actually telling us anything.
