Movie Reviews of Beyond Silence
Movie Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie which adresses the difficulties a hearing child may experience with two Deaf parents. It is heart warming and serious. I would recommend this movie to any one over the age of 13, as there is a "serious make-out" scene, but no nudity.
Brilliant movie, that moves me to tears everytime I see it.

Although in german (but english subtitles), this is a movie I wan't to share with people. See it.Movie Review: Real-life portrayal of a hearing child with deaf parents.
Summary: 4 Stars
Once again, we have what should have been a wonderful movie diminished by a totally unnecessary sex scene. Also, there was no point (related to the story) for Aunt Clarissa, after her husband moved out, to have a new man in her house in the next scene. Other than those incidents, it is a fine move. The 9-year-old Laura is a real sparkler.
We knew a couple of sisters who were friends of our daughters whose parents were deaf, and we found little Laura to be very much like those girls. It is a great movie to show children how the lives of some of their friends can be very much different from their own. Then, to teach them that, unlike some of the kids in the movie who were mean to Laura, if we understand the friend's life from his or her point of view we can and should be nice to them. This movie gives a real feel for the experiences and unique frustrations of a hearing child of deaf parents.
The movie is pretty much the usual child finally wins the approval of a disapproving parent story. Therefore, the main value of the film is that this child has very different obstacles to overcome that can help kids understand and accept "odd" classmates. I'd give it an 5-Stars on that basis if it wasn't for the unnecessarily thrown in scenes that go contrary to traditional values.
Movie Review: Love Resonates Beyond the Ear's Ability to Hear
Summary: 4 Stars
Lara cares for her deaf parents but is pulled out of their orbit by her passion for music and her attraction to her aunt, who fosters her passion for the clarinet. Her pursuit of a music conservatory slot and that growing bond with her aunt estranges her from her family.
Her mother's sudden and accidental death forces her to confront some harsh feelings about her father, who resents the primacy of music in his daughter's life.
This largely melancholy film offers a redemptive ending as Lara auditions for a coveted slot in the Berlin music conservatory while her father appears unannounced to offer his wordless support. Love and passion transcend silence and bridges the gap between parallel worlds and family fissures.
