The narrative revolves around police officer Amadeus Warnebring, tone-deaf scion of a distinguished musical family, and his attempts to track down a group of six guerilla percussionists whose anarchic public performances are terrorizing the city. The drumming set pieces correspond to an avant-garde score with four hilariously titled movements. Where the short involved the six drummers imaginatively using standard apartment furnishings as their instruments, the feature unleashes them on an unspecified city's civic and cultural institutions. Including an amusing backstory for each of the soberly dressed drummers as well as their nemesis, music-hating investigator Warnebring, the film creates a treat for the eyes and ears from the dull, repetitive sounds of everyday life.
Leave your thoughts about Sound of Noise.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittA buoyant comedy that never hits a wrong note. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayWhat binds the entertaining crime movie to its YouTube-ready musical interludes is the unspoken yearning of its two leads: he for the world of silence in which he'd rather live, and she for all the sounds that slip by every second, uncontrolled and unappreciated. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt never achieves much coherence when it tries for more than slapstick comedy. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)A buoyant comedy that never hits a wrong note. |
| We Got This CoveredBlake GriffinSound of Noise is outside the box, original and inventive. It's also hilarious, and extremely entertaining. The film is one of SFIFF's highlights. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfSound of Noise provides plenty of excitement and rumble, executed with a considerable screen flair that manages oddity and a crooked sense of liberation with stunning flexibility. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenWithout pounding home its avant-garde cred, this fresh ode to found sound and the music of silence casts an amused gaze at careerism, classical-music reverence and notions of artistic purity and ends with a pitch-perfect change of tune. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonMore an intriguing premise than a successful film, the Malmö-set Sound of Noise, about a group of "musical terrorists," quickly loses its novelty and becomes about as bold as a Swedish production of "Stomp." |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenI've seen a lot of detective stories, but never one about a detective trying to track down a bunch of performance artists who are playing illegal music. |
| Hollywood ReporterPeter BrunetteThe basic premise of this delightful comedy from Sweden is one of the most imaginative you'll ever see. It's all based on music -- raw, elemental and percussive -- out of which genuine laughs are wrung from beginning to end. |
