Rarely does a debut feature showcase a talent so fully formed. This is a remarkably potent film. Read full review

This is storytelling which is as enigmatic as it is compelling. Not surprisingly, the use of music throughout is superb. Read full review

This taut psychological thriller about a gifted pregnant pianist who wants the family's musical legacy to be carried on through her unborn son takes a dramatic twist when the child is born deaf, prompting his obsessive mother to take drastic steps to keep the dream alive. Israeli directorThis taut psychological thriller about a gifted pregnant pianist who wants the family's musical legacy to be carried on through her unborn son takes a dramatic twist when the child is born deaf, prompting his obsessive mother to take drastic steps to keep the dream alive.

The film's excellent ensemble and superb score (much of it original) bring this captivating and compelling story to life, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats right up to the end. A surprising gem of a movie that's well worth your time.… Expand
