Great short suspense film, 24 September 2005
10/10
Author: kyle wagner from United States

I saw this film at the San Diego Film Festival (it'll probably only be shown at festivals since it's not feature-length). If you get a chance, see it. The story revolves around a girl who has lost her hearing (and ability to speak, thus the title) due to an accident. Since she tells the story, we have to go with her, and it's part of the suspense that we don't really know if she's telling us everything or not. It has some humor, but it's mostly a "dreamy" sort of justification by the mute girl for her actions. What's really interesting is the sound in the movie. Since she's deaf and mute, the director chose to have some moments of silence and some isolated sounds. Some of these sounds were very effective choices - they enhanced the mood and heightened the suspense. The script is lean, the acting is excellent and the visuals are inventive yet appropriate to the telling of the story. Check this one out if you get a chance! And hopefully we'll get a feature-length film from her in the future.
