spencer p Emotionally explosive and rightfully even-handed, this is a timeless and universal documentary (for all the hearing world) that opens the gates between two worlds and presents mankind with a heavy question all parents must ask themselves. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Wildly articulate, intelligent and highly emotional without being volatile, this film gives voice to the options surrounding cochlear implants and it's threatening effect perceived by the deaf community. Wonderfully personal and intimate; profoundly, deeply moving, see vulnerable people open up about their experiences. On the DVD, see the extra 20 min of extra interviews which gives even more insight - an example of someone who rejected the implant, and another who had difficulty and yet embraced it. I also recommend finding the 2013-14 TEDtalk of Heather Artinian - the central little girl of the doc - who speaks about what she has learned since, and her brilliant philosophy she's developed bc of her experiences. Brilliant, illuminating, authentic and ultimately inspiring. 5 out of 5 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Judge not, lest ye be judged... Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this documentary. It goes into the life of two related families who are both trying to decide whether their children should receive a cochlear implant. One family has two hearing parents (the mom was brought up by two deaf parents) who have twins and find out that one of them is deaf. While the other family has two deaf parents who have a daughter who asks them if she can receive an implant. While the movie itself can get very frustrating because you're only seeing one family circle where all the parents are putting their wishes on their children, it is so emotional and thought-provoking. For me, it was the first time that I was exposed to this idea of deaf culture and the deaf community. I really enjoyed the amount of emotion that this movie conveys, and I just wish it could've spread out this story to cover more than just these two families. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member good almost doc like quality i never knew this place existed Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Although using voice overs for the deaf subjects trivializes their deafness (which is what much of their character motivations come from), SOUND AND FURY is still a fascinating, evenhanded documentary that wisely provides us with no easy answers to the provocative questions it raises.
