Naturalistic

We want to see if it works in a naturalistic setting.

The genius of High Hopes is in its director's ability to push both his characters and his audience to places they would never think of going. Although the situations are always naturalistic (there is not even any of the arty mise en scene Frears used in Sammy and Rosy or My Beautiful Laundrette), he is not afraid of making his characters caricatures.

Each core autistic participant engaged in three naturalistic conversations around the topic of loneliness with: (1) a familiar, chosen conversation partner; (2) a non-autistic stranger and (3) an autistic stranger.
