What critics compared Flowers for Algernon to
Of course, it is those later sequences that set the film apart from similar stories such as Daniel Keyes’s Flowers for Algernon (filmed as Charly ) and Alan Glynn’s The Dark Fields (filmed as Limitless ).
This story is also somewhat similar to the great Daniel Keyes science fiction short story and novel, “Flowers For Algernon,” which has been made into plays, movies and even dance performances.
