1/5
"The characters are so one-dimensional that the film appears to flounder when asked to provide any secondary features of them beyond the single adjective identifiers that would fit on a pitch card: autistic, prostitute, grandmother, pimp, boss..." Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix May 28, 2022
Sappy and preachy to a fault, the melodrama The Sound of Violet pushes the sexist message that a woman who’s a sex worker can’t be happy unless she’s rescued by a man with enough money to take care of her. The Sound of Violet is completely tone-deaf. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru May 2, 2022
Clunky, contrived and so saccharine that it could end up giving you a cavity. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan 25YL (25 Years Later) May 1, 2022
2/5
Once the drama of its chosen realities thicken and the laughs no longer come easy, its sense of correction can feel quite heavy-handed. Go to Full Review Phil Villarreal ABC Tucson Apr 27, 2022
2.5/4
Maybe it's a little too brave. Go to Full Review Steven Warner In Review Online Apr 27, 2022
Perhaps this offensive melodrama worked better on the page, where its abrupt tonal shifts and wackadoo plot twists could have a little more room to breathe or, at the very least, allow for the necessary suspension of disbelief. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Shelly W May 7, 2022 I read the book and loved the movie. I appreciated how it showed a new perspective on the struggles of dating and finding the perfect mate for everyone. Understanding how people face different challenges in their lives. It's a sweet and serious love story. See more Joe May 7, 2022 Holy Hell this is a bad movie. This wouldn't make the cut for a Hallmark movie. See more Michelle W May 4, 2022 Eye opening and heart felt See more Mary May 2, 2022 Amazing story. So good. Great acting and true love. Went with family member in their early 20s who also thought it was Amazing. See more Janice W May 1, 2022 I liked the chemistry between the two leads. It a lot of heart. A bit farfetched in the storyline with the grandma accepting the grand daughter in law with her past. Also her seeming to like the doorman. All in all I thought it was a enjoyable film to pass the time. See more Antoine May 1, 2022 Must see!!! Engaging, heartwarming, and one of the best movies Ive seen in a long, long time. You will not be disappointed. See more Read all reviews
