Audible

A beautiful short documentary, necessary and inclusive, I have the impression that I already knew the story of Terry, hearing impaired who was bullied and committed suicide, despite this tragic fact the documentary of a very beautiful message of overcoming, inclusion and respect, good terms contact with these special realities, which should be everyday, good to be in notoriety, in front of the Oscars, it was not a winner, but I found it perfect, moving and inspiring...

Audible (2021) is a documentary about life at Maryland School for the Deaf, specifically their football team, after suffering a tragic loss. This was a great and insightful little documentary. It was so important and I'm glad these people's stories were told.

The cinematography was beautiful which I never really expect from a documentary as it's usually not needed, but there were some gorgeous shots that added to the experience of watching! The colour palettes were great, and helped the film be very visually pleasing.

The sound design was used very well and in a smart way. I liked that the film didn't use much sound or dialogue at all, it felt a lot more inclusive to those who are deaf or hard of hearing.

The documentary introduced us to the people involved and their lives very well, and we got an insightful look into the struggles they have faced. Amaree seemed like a lovely person, I was happy to learn his story. It showed the relationships between those at the school, and I thought that was really beautiful.

The film was consistently interesting, with good pacing that flowed well. It was super educational and tackles a lot of sensitive issues well and with respect. The ending was incredibly touching, and left me wanting to know more about this school and the pupils.

Good & Nice beautiful. What more? Thank you! My review is to short they say. So OK! This is the best film ever! Thank you very big for this! Still to short my review, ok big big love for you all and keep keep. You are the best!

The players, coaches and parents are likeable characters, and although short, it's an enjoyable and heartwarming 40 minutes. If you enjoyed Last Chance U, then you'll probably like Audible.

It does feel like it needs to be feature length, or maybe even a limited series following a season with the Maryland Orioles. Come on Netflix, make it happen!

I don't really understand why it's a short and not just a full on documentary. There is so much that could have been explored deeper and better, but because if the runtime kinda feels cropped up. The subject itself is very good. I like the way they do the interviews and let us into the mind of the deaf players, but again, that could and should have been explored a lot more. The subject and goal are very interesting and cool to look at, but the execution is poor on this one. It's a shame, because it does have its moments.
