The Sound of Violet

Haven't see such a well made movie for a long time!!! Good story, relatable, well directed, well made. After watching it, I felt hopeful for the society and for American movie industry. Highly highly recommended!

Refreshing new faces creating some excellent craftsplay here. A prostitute, an autistic kid, concerned brother and grandmother, and of course the trafficker. Unfortunately they stereotyped with the black badass pimp, with no other diversity in sight, and went a bit longer than necessary, but beautiful! Seattle shots and excellent acting. Some laugh out loud moments, some tears, surprisingly no! Profanity or overt sexuality. Saw lots of tears in the audience, poignant, and surprisingly believable. Well done, shout out to local Seattleite Kaelon Christopher!

I found myself really drawn into this story. It is not the typical characters we see onscreen but they are so human, I couldn't help but find myself rooting for the unconventional love story. I even found empathy for Ruth and Colin, who, I had initially been so upset with. Their love of Shawn can be a bit protective and stifling while simultaneously shining such harsh and unfair light on those around him. They feel they are doing what's best but they just can't see what this is really costing all of them. The story takes the viewer on quite a ride and is unlike anything I can recall seeing. It is rich in character development and story telling, alike. I attribute this to Allen Wolf and his care for these characters. I could see his heart and passion for this story really shine through. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it refreshing and unlike anything I can remember seeing. A really beautiful, heartfelt film with some talented young actors.

Trying to think of positive things to say about the movie, which is quite difficult.

The low budget, poor caliber acting and dreary storyline made for what you see... a listless film which I failed to get through (20 minutes from the end I had to stop the misery).

Nothing discernible to cling on to - nice idea maybe? Poorly executed, whole thing was very amateurish....noticeable bad sound quality on more than one occasion.

Take all the average 'quirky' love story films and merge them together, here is your end result. Save yourself the trouble and go seek out another film that doesn't rip the life from your body in one sitting.

A beautiful tale told in a unique way. I liked the movie and would recommend it to others for a date night or girlfriend time. I like that he hears colors. I met one person who also described tasting colors. It helped me understand the film and the person better. I loved the main character, Shawn does not know that Violet is a prostitute. I enjoyed his take on the things that she does. It has a few bumps that cinematographers would notice, but the general population will not see them. I believe it is a great little film with a lot going on. Have some imagination with the film. You will hear the Sound of Violet too.
