    Best 2020 movie

    Without doubt, for me.Base on the truth story in Taiwan. It's expose the ugly truth in the beautiful outlook cover up which it's happen everywhere around us. Outstanding performance by all the actors that u can feel their pain and helpless by using facial and hand sign without saying any words .Unique Bgm that using only natural sounds without music that take u into their deaf world. A movie u see that will make u sink into a deeper thought.

    Absolute masterpiece. Deserves a lot more recognition.

    I went into this one without knowing anything, it was just recommended in a movie list. Because of that, I also don't really want to give anything away in this review. If you like drama which tackles some serious issues, a bit of mystery and some incredible acting then you have to see this. It's a rollercoaster of emotions for sure and has been on my mind for a while after watching it which is always a good sign.

    Script keep you tight even though film fill with sign language

    When it comes to hearing impaired theme it is always connected with sign language. In here also most of the film runs on sign language. But unlike other films, this particular film keep you tight to your seat and no boring at all. So the full credits must go to script, direction and all the crew.

    It is a really nice story with a message of social awareness.
