VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
budds-18052 "The Sounding" starts with the highly original premise of a woman who speaks only in Shakespearian quotations. From there, it delves into a fearless examination of communication, cognition, and resolving one's truth with the presumptions of society. An outstanding lead turn by writer/director Catherine Eaton makes this a must-see. Admirers of Frank and Eleanor Perry's "David and Lisa" take note.
mias-151-386599 THE SOUNDING won the 2017 Arizona International Film Festival Grand Prize for a reason. It is rare for a film to move audiences as much as THE SOUNDING did.Catherine Eaton is the Director, Co-Writer, and Star of THE SOUNDING. This combo can be a problem but this triple play enhanced the film. I can't imagine anyone else in those roles.People were talking about it for days. It has been a while since a film grabbed an audience like that.If THE SOUNDING screens anywhere near you, SEE IT!!!
jessicalitwak This film is beautifully written, acted and shot. There is so much heart, so much grace and so much humanity in this film that it is impossible not to be moved. Watching this film I was transported to a world where love, humor, friendship, and poetry make life possible. It also made me laugh and weep while reveling in the beauty of the cinematography.
NicoletteSciore I was blown away by how well the words of Shakespeare were used to drive the story. So much art in one movie. I was captivated from the first turning point and empathetic towards the protagonist. This is pure drama. I felt a surge of emotions in many scenes. There were very few that fell flat but the overall story was poignant and masterfully executed. A few times I noticed some some poor sound mixing which left me a bit distracted and took away from the touching scenes. This was however, a breath of fresh air to watch. I simply loved it.
