The Sound of Violet

I found myself really drawn into this story. It is not the typical characters we see onscreen but they are so human, I couldn't help but find myself rooting for the unconventional love story. I even found empathy for Ruth and Colin, who, I had initially been so upset with. Their love of Shawn can be a bit protective and stifling while simultaneously shining such harsh and unfair light on those around him. They feel they are doing what's best but they just can't see what this is really costing all of them. The story takes the viewer on quite a ride and is unlike anything I can recall seeing. It is rich in character development and story telling, alike. I attribute this to Allen Wolf and his care for these characters. I could see his heart and passion for this story really shine through. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it refreshing and unlike anything I can remember seeing. A really beautiful, heartfelt film with some talented young actors.
