Super talented triple threat
Finally got around to seeing this. I went in completely cold having seen no trailers or reviews, only knowing it was about a hearing girl within a deaf family, so naturally assumed it would be an Oscar-bait drama.
I had no idea it would be so funny. It's really a typical coming-of-age film though, but thoroughly enjoyable, hitting all the right emotional beats at the end. Brilliant breakthrough performance from Emilia Jones, who from looking at her past roles (she's only 19) I must have only ever seen previously as "child" in many things. Shocking discovery after looking her up - Aled Jones is her dad!
