Runa R Sep 30 It is always valuable to watch a film that places us in someone else’s perspective. Simple things, which no one might imagine, in the life of a deaf person – such as childbirth, with the obstetrician giving instructions that the character cannot hear, precisely because she is deaf.

It gave you a real sense of how isolating deafness can be and how it might easily make you lose confidence and become paranoid. One problem with the film is that the baby was too young to act. Therefore she didn’t show much interest or pleasure in her mother. If she was really the woman’s baby I think would have been much more attached whether her mother was deaf or not. This created a stronger and unrealistic sense of alienation between the mother and baby than would happen in a normal mother/baby relationship. Also, some of the things the main character (Miriam?)was getter annoyed about - not being able to hear husband’s friends, people staring in a nightclub I would have thought she would have come to terms with well before this stage in her life. It was as if it was the first time she noticed these things. See more Ronan T Sep 7 A stunning compelling and revelatory movie you just cannot miss. When I saw the title I yawned! Almost dismissed it! But so glad I saw it. Few movies have the power to arrest the viewer the way this one does! I refuse to risk even hinting at a spoiler. Just go and see it!

Although it's not perfect and tried its best to make the story interesting, it's still worth a watch because of its uniqueness and the perspective of a deaf mother raising her child. For me, Alvaro's character and acting are a bonus point that made the film enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
