So first off, ignore all those people rating this as 1 and 2 stars. Its not a masterpiece. But its also not trash at ALL. The camera work is actually really impressive and if they made this with $175 then I'm floored. The acting is ho-hum only because there's about 3 minutes of dialogue in the whole thing so you can't really measure. However, its the subtle nuance of a deaf girl in an audio world and if you watch the film you have to understand to place yourself in her boots for it to be interesting. The pacing is slow but I think thats by design for the suspense. The random people standing around like buffoons didn't make a lot of sense to me either, but the music and sound work were really quite good for the setting. The ariel drones were also interesting in that they added a nice bit of spooky silence.
*spoilers* So, one nitpick I have is, there's a scene where she basically murders someone. So non chalant like it happens every day. She is completely unfazed that she just capped someone. On top of the murder... she was STEALING FROM HIS FARM!!! All for the wrong kind of gasoline, a life wasted on a mistake. She should probably cry at least a little.
The ending is... odd, apparently she is related to Beethoven not sure why that scene is even in the film, and the soldier at the end like, what? Odd. Then it just ends, no real resolution.
