Welcome to my life

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2018)

I lost my hearing throughout my youth and now wear a cochlear implant, so this movie was a special experience for me. Normally I steer away from any movie with a deaf character because they usually propogate the myth that all deaf people are expert lip readers (and if they're not, somethings wrong). That's a really unfair characterization.
Why I think hearing people are amazed with this movie is because they can't imagine a world without sound. I understand, I used to be hearing. It is very easy to take everything for granted when you have perfect physical health and all your abilities.

I liked how the filmmakers totally immersed this movie in a world of silence. They get it. It was authentic.
