    The Ultimate Playlist of Noise

    6/10 - this Hulu Original teen romance attempts to follow in the footsteps of several of the past decade's teen movie hits (particularly the John Green film adaptations: The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns), but has some problematic messaging and simply fails to elicit the emotional response it clearly desires

    A PROFOUND REMINDER TO REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT I HEAR

    I was charmed by this story and especially by it's central characters! Marcus' Playlist took me back through my life to remember and really appreciate many of my favorite sounds. The message for me was to pay attention to everything in life as it happens instead of succumbing to distraction. Focus and BE HERE NOW as Ram Dass said. I loved this so much I'll buy the DVD!

    Lovely and enjoyable

    The movie portrayed a beautiful journey along with a harsh situation for the main lead to deal. It is not a romantic movie but it would be a lot sweeter with a little romance. Overall 1/2 for story. 1/1 for plot setting. The direction and cinematography is good but something could have been done to make the watchers more involved with the life of the main lead. 1/2. I really enjoyed this movie and give 1.5/2 from myself and 1.5/2 for the actors. They did some good work in this emotional rollercoster movie.

    We need this movie

    To know how lucky we live with a health body now, to know sickness is painful and what's the point of living without health. It's totally not boring to watch about a serious topic but still little heavy to me.

    Not Bad for a January Release!

    I am sure that I am going to like this film far more than the average viewer as it touches home. I am a musician, and music has played a huge role in my life. I inherently connected to this character before the story began. As the story went on, I found myself laughing at the titular playlist because some of my favorite sounds were on it, and I have literally thought about the emptiness their absence might bring. Had the film left it at that, and really explored the character's fears and reservations about his new life, I think that it would have been more impactful than the conflict that is introduced. I think that there is something in this film that everyone can enjoy!
