      Audience Member No idea why this is rated so poorly, should be 70% on the tomato meter at the very least. Intriguing story. Nice and unexpected twist. Cast was decent. The movie won a number of awards at various film festivals prior to release. Listening was much better than some of the multi-million dollar "blockbuster" films I've seen over the last 2 decades. I would highly recommend this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great yarn, critics give boring art house rubbish 5 stars and bag a great story cause they don't like the lighting or director Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member At first I didn't expect much from this movie but I ended up really enjoying the characters, twists and the storyline! I like Netflix dark mirror and this was a similar story kudos to the director/writer as he did a good job! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The storyline was different but poorly acted and just don’t flow was boring and confusing Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie had a few decent scenes and a lot of potential, but in the end, it was kind of a big disappointment to me. I would say that it is safe to skip this one. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ehhhh... Not bad, but not so great, either. Nice intro hook and Interesting charachter development during the first half, but the second half was a messy government conspiracy that left me unfulfilled at the end. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times To call it amateurish would be kind. Sep 10, 2015 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times Begins as a fitfully intriguing character study before flying off the rails as a nightmarish vision of government encroachment on free thought. Sep 10, 2015 Full Review Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader It looks and feels like a particularly well made student film (so many colored filters), but the subject matter is rather more interesting and weirdly plausible than the recent spate of big-budget AI films. Rated: 2/5 Sep 10, 2015 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof It seems to be a final project in Khalil Sullins' career, but without the clarity of ideas to do something minimally consistent.. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Josh Lasser IGN Movies This is where Listening really falls apart - it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Rated: 4.9/10 Oct 29, 2015 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Naive, hamfisted, and amateurish indie sci-fi... but as hilarious as the clumsy, clichéd execution is, it still isn't even worth it for the laughs.
