William goes to my school and is genuinely a really sweet kid! So proud of him!!!

This young man seems so positive and outgoing. I love his honesty and “quirky” personality. Very much like my son. These children are a gift!

William was extraordinary in the film Ezra. A true "natural"; genuine, moving, and totally believable. He has a bright future ahead of him.

I wonder what will William do next in acting

I love the movie -- i just wish they hired comics to write some jokes that were funny. :)

Een ontroerende en aangrijpende film die een geloofwaardige indruk geeft van de angsten en kwellingen waar autistische kinderen en hun ouders mee te maken kunnen krijgen. Prachtig en met gevoel verfilmd

😮 William reminds me of Iain Armitage. 😊❤

Erza was a beauuutiful movie, and William is a beautiful kid - from the heart. So glad they insisted on a neurodivergent actor for the role, I think it's the only way to do it well...
