Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
kle23 This is a gorgeously made film about a woman determined to live her truth. Compelling and nuanced performances, stunning cinematography, and a brilliant premise. Asks important questions about difference and our culture's determination to "heal" or "fix" behaviors outside the norm. PS: Even if you've never liked Shakespeare, you'll love this film.
barkarnaby Satisfies the hunger for a good, original story told and acted well . . . a compelling mystery, at that, with nary a vampire or serial killer in sight. The premise of an intelligent, vital individual, choosing not to speak, seemingly content to summon, reconfigure and enter Shakespeare's words, poetry and drama at will, to suit her every mood and occasion is intriguing. Loved it.
AInkles-1 As a Film Festival Director, my team and I previewed thousands of films and none better than THE SOUNDING. Amazing script,crisp and tense direction and an amazing cast. A drama/ thriller that will keep you interested from the beginning to the end. Catherine Eaton is a force to reckon with --- keep an eye out for her and don't miss this film if you have a chance to see it!
Conor Bresnan This is a fascinating and very well made movie. A women decides not to talk, despite being mentally capable, and after her grandfather dies will only talk in Shakespearean quotations. It's a movie that asks the fundamental question of communication and let's you answer it. With a tremendous supporting performance from Harris Yulin, the grandfather, a well designed and written screenplay by newcomers Catherine Eaton and Bryan Delaney and a, quite simply, intriguing plot, this movie certainly succeeds. While it needs a little polish, as it drags in spots in the beginning and doesn't nail its ending, it is already very good nonetheless.
