| Common Sense MediaGrace MontgomeryWell-meaning drama about being deaf in a hearing world. |
| User ReviewSimantha GA great movie that is for both deaf and hearing people. If you are not familiar with deaf culture or deaf experiences this is a great movie to see inside a culture that many hearing people do not have experience with. The movie is well written, with both humor and touching moments. I recommend for all ages including children, the main child actor is talented and easy for all relate to. |
