Brittle bone disease is a dangerous condition, particularly for children who are small and accident-prone. When you add the complexity of autism to the mix, it can be a lot for a family to handle… especially when they have to manage other issues, like alcoholism or struggles with income and employment. The Unbreakable Boy, based on ScottLeRette‘s novel The Unbreakable Boy: A Father’s Fear, a Son’s Courage, and a Story of Unconditional Love (itself based on LeRette’s blog), chronicles a family working to overcome these issues in a tale that’s based on LeRette’s own life. The film’s young brothers are both talented finds, and it does have some memorable scenes, but they’re sandwiched between poorly set-up choices and situations that fail to feel true.
