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.
Loved it. I laughed, I cried, and I was challenged to consider autism and human trafficking in ways that were new to me. If there's such a thing as a thought-provoking date night movie, this is it. Well done.
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.
