Based on the synopsis on Amazon Prime, I chose this movie because it said something about a deaf girl finding out a family's dark secret. It was tagged as a drama/crime/thriller/mystery and I figured it was a murder movie or something like that.
This is a purely drama movie focusing between two girls, one who is deaf & mute, and the other who has an incestuous relationship with her father. The two girls slowly grow a friendship together and both have different ideas of what "growing up" means. One wants passion, the other wants freedom.
The incest scenes are very cringe-worthy, they'll well done, maybe too well done. You can feel how uncomfortable the daughter is at certain moments. This might be enough to turn some people away.
The reason I kept watching, however, was because of the bond between the girls. I liked the character development and wanted to see what would happen with them at the end.
The ending might be a bit confusing at first, but when you sit and put all the pieces together, you can understand why it turned out that way.
It's not an amazing film, but it caught my attention and the plot lines gave me and my boyfriend something to talk about and figure out why certain characters did certain things.
