You Have No Idea

This is more than a heartwarming tale of a mother's love, it depicts one woman's journey to provide for her child. His needs were unique and her energy knew no bounds. She created a community for herself and for her son, his enthusiasm enriching all he meets! Its emphasis on this community showcases how we need each other, each of us.

This story is about family, in its broadest definition, the people who care, love, pitch in, and help each of of us become a better person! I enjoyed watching this family grow in every sense, This movie allows in into the intimate moments, and I thank them for letting us in!

You Have No Idea is a heartwarming, thoughtful and candid look inside the day-to-day challenges, struggles, and joys of raising a child with autism, during a time when precious little was known about it, and the continued and necessary love, care and commitment when that child grows into an adult that depends on those things.

Beth's determination to prepare Evan for his best life is inspiring, and I was moved by the friends and family that gathered around them to create a "village" to support them in that endeavor.

I really enjoyed seeing the interactions between Paul and Beth's blended family, the honest assessments from family and friends, the video clips of everyday moments, and the obvious love they have for Evan and each other.

You Have No Idea is educational, moving, and a joy to experience. Enthusiastically recommended!

Wow!! What an incredible story that shows the power of community and serves as a reminder that different does not mean broken. Both touching and humorous, I loved every minute of seeing the world through Evan's eyes.

This film will bring the tears but you still cannot escape Evan's contagious joyous energy. It leaves you feeling a sense of hope knowing there are bright stars in the world like Beth and Evan. I feel empowered to be an advocate for those that need a voice, to be more aware that every one has their own daily battles, and to offer more patience and understanding to everyone I encounter.

"You Have No Idea" is poignant, timely and raw. It lifts back the curtain and provides a loving inside look at a family in southern Arkansas and their journey with an autism diagnosis since the early 90s.

As much as the film captures raw emotions, it also shows how the family navigated the muddy waters of medical knowledge at the time and discovered things that worked for their son along the way. I think anyone who watches this will not only fall in love with Evan, but also be in awe of Beth and her advocacy for not only her son, but the other children in her community.

The film depicts the importance of community and lifelong friendships - how bringing people in to your life with openness and honesty creates a better situation for everyone.

Delves into an honest and truthful perspective of a family's journey with autism. Really well presented with reflections of how supportive and helpful this family and friends were towards this mother and son's relationship in the early years of Evan's life.

I really love how the film shows mundane moments with the family and how the mother and step father interact with the child on a day to day basis. The reveal of where the title comes from is also a favorite moment.

"'You Have No Idea' is a captivating documentary that delves deep into its subject matter. With compelling storytelling and powerful insights, this film educates and entertains. A must-watch for documentary enthusiasts!"
