Seems like Pucci was channeling Johnny Depp in his performance
I saw an amalgamation of oddball Depp characters (Benny and Joon, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc). Pucci's performance felt a little inauthentic to me for that reason, more like he was playing a character playing a character as opposed to trying to play an autistic character.
Although, I should add, I did enjoy the film.
