Leave your thoughts about Sound and Fury.
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordA provocative documentary that is sure to make its audience consider things about deafness and handicaps in general that it might not otherwise. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordOne of the most intelligent and thought-provoking documentaries I have ever seen. |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphIt doesn't beg for your emotions or sympathies--only for your attention and patience. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickVery well balanced, and very emotional as well. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenWhen a documentary makes a spectator want to jump out of his seat and throw tomatoes at some of the performers, you know that the film maker has captured the imagination of the audience. |
| Apollo GuideJon LapThe discourse that ensues over this issue is more entertaining, heartfelt, and insightful than what you'll find in any other film released in 2000. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasJosh Aronson's Sound and Fury, as illuminating and comprehensive as it is heart-wrenching, is an example of what the documentary can accomplish at its most vital and engaging. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesThe intriguing film should provoke strong emotions and raise excellent question regardless of the viewer's auditory ability. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerAn illuminating, well-balanced portrait of a volatile, two-sided debate. |
| User ReviewMeaghan CEveryone should see this! Does exactly what a documentary should do: open up the audience's eyes to an often ignored story. The Artinian families' stories are extremely inspiring. |
