Jerry F @RT18976744 02/29/2024 I can't believe I watched a 2 hour movie in sign language, no dialogue at all and I was able to follow it without a problem. They were able to direct it in a way that everything completely clear to the viewers. The plot was interesting knowing that things like this actually happen, and even more. The acting was very good the dynamic between the characters was excellent. I didn't expect the ending but in my opinion was perfect. See more 01/23/2023 Interesting premise, poorly executed. The story seems very weak, and there is almost no character development, so that every character becomes an interchangeable prop, and the fact that all of the characters are deaf and only speak in sign language starts to feel like a gimmick. The characters’ deafness is only relevant to a couple of very brief interactions in the movie. So, what are we left with? A story that tells us that people in horrible circumstances do horrible things, regardless of whether they are deaf or not? But none of the characters in this movie comes across as people, and we are never shown any part of their lives except when they are together, being awful. So they are completely de-humanized, and after a while nothing is shocking any more. Is that a deliberate choice by the director - make us feel desensitized, just as the characters are “missing” a sense? I don’t think so, it’s just not good story-telling. See more 03/10/2021 The set-up is incredibly intriguing, the atmosphere is palpable and one has to congratulate the filmmakers doing a kind of silent film about people in such extreme margins, but apart from a striking finale, it doesn't really dig under your skin - perhaps it's lack of empathy or genuine connection between the subject and the filmmakers. See more 01/16/2021 A must-see, if you like European cinema.

See more 03/12/2020 A unique and astonishing triumph. See more Read all reviews
