When Listening Becomes the Main Role
Daniel Roher tells the story as a multifaceted blend of crime story, coming-of-age, and romantic thriller. Several reviews highlight that the film derives much of its impact from the sound design and acoustic perspective: everyday life becomes over-stimulating, sound becomes the dramatic engine, and Leo Woodall embodies this role with vulnerable presence. The reviews also praise the charm of the cast and the unusual genre blend. ([filmstarts.de](https://www.filmstarts.de/kritiken/1000010215/kritik.html?utm_source=openai))
