Best movie in years!
I wasn't sure if I would like this. I thought it would be slow... but in the first 10 minutes I was hooked. The acting is so unbelievably good!! Right away I loved the characters, and the filmmaking was brilliant. I don't want to give anything away, but the struggles of a girl trying to find her own way while dealing with her Mom, Dad and brother who are all deaf is heartbreaking to watch. Emilia Jones Is one of the most amazing actresses I have seen in a long time. I could feel her struggle, and it was real. Her moments with her family were tender and touching, and frustrating all at the same time. You wanted Emilia's character to succeed, but she had so many challenges, it seemed impossible. And the struggle with her deaf mom and dad and brother, trying to fit in with society and be treated as normal was so well portrayed. I cried at least 3 times in this movie, not because it's a tragedy, but because the movie is so realistic and moving. The music teacher Bernardo was terrific, and Ruby's dad was so interesting to watch. This movie definitely deserves the Oscar for Best Picture, and Emilia Jones is one of the best actresses to come out of Hollywood. - andromedakitty - 29 September 2022
Absolutely Amazing
Had me in tears watching this at work.
Wasn't expecting so many feels lol.
I would recommend that everyone watch this movie. It is well worth the time.
It was captivating, and heart warming. Great movie to give you perspective on what it's like having a deaf family member. Seeing live through the eyes of a hearing person and the difficulties that they face every day with their family members was a great way to gain some perspective on the subject matter.
There's even a scene in the movie where you experience life through the perspective of a deaf person. Blew me away. I couldn't imagine life that way.
Thank you to the people that made this movie. I loved it.
