“No, Jerome, put that down.” “Leave that table where it is.” “Pick that up.” “Be careful.” While waiting for the bus that takes autistic Jerome to the care center, his mother repeats it almost like a mantra: don’t, Jerome. The viewer experiences firsthand how long a few minutes can feel. Jerome, Jerome is a moving portrait of a mentally disabled boy who constantly needs care and guidance. The documentary follows two days in the life of the autistic teenager, his mother Anita, and his regular caregiver Kevin. Filmed up close and without any commentary, the film shows how Jerome continually tests the patience of those around him.
