I think the Mom was being selfish, not allowing her son to hear so she could maintain her bond with him?! What? No therapist consulted with Adam participating in the discussion?!

I love this movie, I love Marlee Matlin, she's my favorite Deaf actress. It was pretty cool 😎 seeing Deann Bray from Sue Thomas F.B EYE in the movie and Shoshana Stern and Ed Waterstreet and Phyllis Frelich, too. I didn't know that Noah Valencia was Deaf in real life until I looked it up on Google. Jeff Daniels did a great job learning ASL for this movie.

i love this movie i do. i love the ppl in it.. . but where is the boys choice? everyone making choices for him. where did his feelings come in at. i have mixed feelings too. some thinks cI for opportunities and all and then there's why want to alter him to accept him... so idk... i like to see comment from someone that is deaf and your feelings on this movie

Incredibly disappointing that the production chose to use a voice artist to overdub Marlee’s voice. Talk about absurd prejudice in action! I had to stop watching, I found it that distracting & annoying. Too bad, and truly stupid for a group of people bringing a movie regarding the deaf community interactions with the hearing world… stupid.

Man i love Deanne Bray

I enjoyed the movie but I thought it was stupid - only because no one EVER once asked the child, Adam, what he wanted!!!!!

I hated the mother. She's so selfish in not wanting her child to be able to hear. I always thought she was just being petty and think that if she can't hear, then her children shouldn't be able to, either.

❤❤❤❤❤ 🙏

Jeff Daniels was awesome in this role..it had to be difficult for him to learn ASL just for the part..equally as difficult for Marlee Matlin because even tho she is really deaf she does use her speaking voice in all other movies so having the voiceover speak for her had to be frustrating for her..i think both parents were selfish by only looking at their own point of view and by never even asking Adam if he were given the opportunity to have his hearing restored if he would even want to. The judge and therapists and Drs should have asked the child first. The ending is frustrating because it left no closure at all. I suppose the viewer is suppose to draw their own conclusions,but maybe the surgery wasnt what it was all about to begin with. Its about being a family and accepting each other the way we are in this life. This was a far dif topic than what society today is dealing with. Now its deciding over changing the physical anatomy of a child thats born biologically one way to a totally dif one. Times sure have gotten complicated.

Brilliant

Adam will probably resent his parents for not giving him a fair chance at hearing again since he’s still a kid and his brain will respond better to the cochlear implant.

Great movie. Very enlighteningn. Nit onky about mariral relarions but also about the perceptions our chikdren have as well. Thank you for sharing God bless

Well, I sure learned something. I had no idea there was such a thing as deaf prejudice. I just hate the stubbornness, obstinacy, and selfishness of the mother and her father. I worked with a man who became totally blind as an adult and I had a female friend who was born blind. The man who lost his sight did everything he could to get his sight back but couldn’t. He was used to being independent and overcame huge obstacles to become again as independent as humanly possible-even traveling internationally alone-but he didn’t pretend for a minute that he wasn’t disabled. The woman had never experienced the freedom of having sight. She thought she was being independent, learning Braille and the talking computer and getting around with her cane somewhat, but she had no idea how much other people had to do for her. She didn’t know what she didn’t know. She just took it for granted because she didn’t know anything different. My father lost his leg in a work accident. This was before there were such things things as hip transplants. He kept on providing for his family and built our house from scratch, digging the foundation and the septic tank hole with a shovel while crawling from place to place on the ground and climbing a ladder to shingle the roof, leaving his crutches below. He overcame huge obstacles but not a minute went by that he didn’t yearn to have his leg back. I remember being with him when I was a tiny child, stepping one step at a time beside him as he, dressed in suit and tie, dragging his crutches and brief case with him, sat on his bottom from step to step going down the immense flight of concrete steps outside the Library of Congress building. He didn’t pretend for a minute that he wasn’t disabled. In this movie, the utter narcissism of the mother and her father in being unwilling to provide the child with an available advantage is infuriating. I know this is just a story but it seems to be presented as based on real events. I was disappointed in the ending because I wanted the mother to get over herself and do what was best for the child and have some empathy for the husband’s feelings.

This actress was in another brilliant movie called, Children of a Lesser God. Arguing, in any language, is exausting

Great movie, great acting. Loved every minute of it.

Wow what a rift this decision has made in a family including friends, having to change schools and the entire family, Botha sets grandparents. Adam sees this in way all are interacting differently with anger being prevalent where it wasn’t happening as often. Yes they probably had difficulties before but now it is happening more. They are talking custody I think and Adams world would surely be worse being torn back and forth between parents. if that should be the end result. Before they smiled had good repoire but now it is so confusing and he sees this and is sad. As usual no easy answers to such a difficult situation.

The mother said she was afraid of losing him, as some mothers her interest is to keep him needing her... She mentioned him as a baby, she doesn't want him to grow up and participate in society fully where she is not there. These mothers are negative towards their child's future. Luckily, they are few. Life is to be enjoyed fully for its sake and the child's sake. It is not about society, it is about how a child will be the rest of his life.

this great movie I didn't know about this I know people hard of hearing glay to know this to share we take this for granted realized struggle people have don't hear miss out lovely voice of loveone sounds natural and music

Dumb ending

Powerful movie I happened across ... thank you for uploading...

Great Movie..Great love for each other♥️

At first I didn't want to watch this, seeing the scene with the woman having no sound & people were doing things that make noise. I wouldn't want to be in that kind of world, because you would be missing so many good things in life. But I hung in there & I watched the movie anyways. I thought the movie was good, but there was a riff between the husband & wife about the implant. Both of them had their own views, so they disagreed with each other. I still like the movie, but we don't know what choice will be made in the end.

Great 👌 movie 🎥🍿🎥

What a good movie . Jeff Daniels is a wonderful actor.... ❤

Such a super film, hoping to learn deaf and dumb shortly, thank you .............

I would have kept Adam in the loop and asked him if he how he felt about it, at least.

It's worth more than $8 for a ticket!!!

😊
