Noise in the Middle

Guide to treat an autistic person so beware and behold, and whos really the autistic individual. anyway its a slowburning a little on acid tubular bell-ending story about a father a daughter and a dead mother.the core caretaker was the mum, meaning caring for his vividly hyperactive child that haunts him like a purgatorial whirlwind, seeking help, if so from infinity itself. so magnetotherapy seems to be the last resort, will it help or not...?

its a slowburning horror thriller, where you wait and wait for something apocalyptic to happen, but it flames out time and again. autism isnt unknown to me, having some light spectrumers in the vicinity, and yes , they have ways to absorb things around that to us a-z sound and healthy never sees and never cares to think about as troublesome. ive had quite a few aha moments of children acting as brats due to unknown reasons, till years later when diagnose set, when one set of answer to the clue was given. it was the sounds, or more correctly the smatting sounds around the food table that made the kid snap for years, ending up never eating in the same room as the rest of the group. so auditorial boost happens. i could mention more and more over, but the stress is real believe me, and the numbers of misunderstandings was and is still vast and problematic to understand.

so i might say that many will reckon something from this film, but as a blockbuster it wont be acclaimed, and will render into oblivion after a while, at least in the filmatographic overstimulated grumpy old mans mind. the acting is pure average, the story and caracter building pretty shallow and extremely clueless, and what the main theme is , is hard to say. is it a horrorthriller or a psychothriller? have a look yourself, and eventually make a recommend yourself. cause i wont ...yet.

Don't know where goods reviews are from but oh boy what a nuisance! Don't waste your time like I did!

Storyline is good, interesting characters and the acting was good. I like horror/suspense movies, this was a bit soft for me but after all it was worth to watch.

This movie started off promising, but then the father opened his mouth and the quality dropped. Your autistic daughter is 11, but you interact with her like it's your first time being around her. So I thought maybe the wife died and he was left with custody. That was not the case. He was just a bad father. All he did throughout the entire movie was yell at her for being her. His acting was atrocious. The only reason I even gave this 2 stars was because the girl was good. But everything else was awful. Who padlocks their special needs child in their room every night, then gets blackout drunk like a college kid, waking up in a new place each time. The ending also was a little confusing, but it may have been because I checked out 50 minutes in.

Total - 6/10.

Imagine a world where psychological thrillers collide with experimental mind-altering experiments, the product of which would be "Noise in the Middle", a movie that's like ordering a mystery box and getting a puzzle with missing pieces. The unique story could've been a buffet of robust, fascinating, and thought-provoking ingredients. However, we're merely served a psychological paranormal-ish thriller with all the frills of a salad without the dressing.

The direction tries to play hero, adding power to the creative storytelling like a caffeinated narrator on a sacred mission. However, the tempo remains steadfastly a stubborn mule, constantly hindering the cinematic journey instead of propelling it forward. It's like maintaining a sports car with a governor that kicks in whenever things get remotely exciting-cue the eye rolls.

But fear not, for the superb cast comes to the rescue like the Avengers of acting. Faye Hostetter, in particular, deserves a standing ovation for her brilliant portrayal of an autistic girl navigating a complex world more terribly confusing than IKEA instructions. The troubled father in this tragic tale is so clueless he ironically makes a stone rock look like Einstein. Bravo, dear sir! I caught myself shouting at the screen, wondering if he attended the "Parenting 101: How Not to Be a Bad Dad" seminar.

While "Noise in the Middle" could've been undoubtedly a masterpiece, it gracefully tiptoes away from the burning pit of doom, settling comfortably into the "watch it once, maybe twice if you're feeling adventurous" category.

In conclusion, if you're in the mood for a delicious concoction of pseudoscience, paranormal oddities, and parenting mishaps, "Noise in the Middle" might be your tepid cup of questionable tea. The picture's worth a viewing for Faye Hostetter's stellar performance. Don't forget to shout fiercely at the dreadful dad. And brace yourself for an uncomfortable ride that's as bumpy as a road under construction.
