Critics Reviews

Ryan Devir Film Threat Cover Your Ears will get you talking after the credits roll. Arming viewers with the historical back and forth between music and the control of music leaves you with enough information to ponder what is to come. Rated: 7.5/10 Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Reviews

Audience Member This is the seminal documentary about censorship. Music is merely used as a jumping off point for a much larger discussion, which needs to happen in our culture. “Cover Your Ears” truly moves the goal posts forward on this ongoing dialogue. Writer/Director Sean Patrick Saul has made a complex topic accessible to the masses, despite which side of the line one might sit. You just might find yourself questioning your own perceptions of what is free speech and what is dangerous for consumption by us, the listener. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
