The Sound of Silence

Peter Sarsgaard stars as a house tuner, hired to go into the homes of the depressed, the sleep-deprived, the anxious, or all of the above, and listen deeply.

A dramedy that works better as a character study of a young woman whose bravado and endless wisecracks are an emotional defense.
If you’re looking for a poignant but somewhat straightforward (and, at times, generic) story line, this movie will give you all the catharsis you’ll need.
A packed, well-oiled vicious circle that speaks volumes and takes no prisoners.
From the get-go, director Guy Nattiv’s visceral depiction of neo-Nazi Bryon Widner’s escape from his white supremacist surrogate family demands a reaction from the audience.
A deeply disturbing film with a cast firing on all cylinders.
The entire film hinges on Marc Maron, and he makes it worth seeing.
A movie built around a critique of toxic masculinity so obvious it could have been written by an algorithm.
The film takes enormous risks, not the least of which is its open and unabashed appeal to the heart.
