Sweet, odd, very, very quiet...

A movie revolving around the hearing impaired without actually including hearing impaired leads.

This was a pretty sweet rom-com about a hard working boy who falls in love with a heard working girl , and chases her only using sign language and his adorable charm.

The movie has a slightly odd angle to the subject of love beyond sound and about 95% of the dialog is shown using sign language even thought the main characters have pretty good hearing and can both use spoken words and sound, The two start off using sign language and do not really seem to need sound to fall in love. A pretty decent message as a whole, and I guess showing that hearing or non hearing should not matter is easier when there is a possibility of actually hearing and does give this movie a certain uniqueness.

What i liked about the movie was the way they showed the sibling relationship as well as both perks and troubles of being a sibling to a person with a disability. I also liked that the movie did not ignore prejudice and problems both mede by society and by the disability it self that can affect a persons day to day life without letting it take over the story or be the only side of it. I also liked that they did shoe that it is possible for the hearing to learn sign language and that it is possible to make a whole move using it instead of spoken language too.

But I was a bit bothered by the abele bodied being in focus for the story of the disabled. Even if the stories message as a whole is people with disabilities are human, they can be independent and competent human beings... something just does not really sit right.

All in all an okay movie, nothing wow but definitely different and the leads are sweethearts indeed.
