"The Oscar nominations were well deserved. Loved seeing this story and the positive representation for the deaf and disabled communities. "

Maude

"It’s very saddening really. You see the main character lost his hearing. You also see him make himself lose more. When he gets his hearing back(sort of). At the end of the movie you realize it was all for nothing. He got nothing really back in return. It makes me realize you don’t know what you have until its gone."

"Such a beautiful and brutally honest film."

"Wow what a ******* performance by the protagonist, as a musician in a traveling band myself I sulked multiple times. I think good endings are hard to pull off but this one fucks your heart up I love this one."

"What a powerful Drama. Riz Ahmed takes this character and embodies it with so much emotion that you feel everything he is going through. The story is so heartbreaking, yet also uplifting. His life is not over, yet is changed dramatically. Teaches you that there can be light at the end of the tunnel, if you're willing to see it."

"Powerful performance by the lead actor Riz Ahmed. Absolutely loved this movie and the perspective and experience it gives you as you watch this musician cope with the pain of losing his ability to hear. "

Cole Whitworth

"Great plot and cast of characters but the real amazing thing about this movie is the sound editing. It carries the observer, story and lead character perfectly. It provides us with feeling without having any narrative. It's beautiful and heartbreaking and a wonderful film experience. "
