It’s strange how circumstances can shift your perspective; I’ve been dealing with a bad head cold recently, one that affected my hearing significantly. Being so limited in what I could hear made me realize how challenging everyday experiences can be when sounds are unclear or you can't hear well at all. Considering this, it’s easy to imagine the difficulties faced by four-year-old "Libby" (played by Maisie Sly), who is deaf. She lives with her family, a warm but preoccupied group unsure of how best to support her. Then “Jo” (Rachel Shenton, also the film's writer) arrives as a social worker, wanting to help "Libby" blossom by introducing sign language alongside her lip-reading skills. There are moments where progress seems promising for "Libby," but tension arises when her mother, "Sue" (Rachel Fielding), appears to feel uneasy about the connection developing between her daughter and Jo. Some of this conflict feels a bit forced, particularly when the girl is shown struggling in school, yet the film thoughtfully explores themes of loneliness, isolation, as well as feelings of guilt and misunderstanding. The story notes that 90% of deaf children have hearing parents and siblings, highlighting how challenging it can be for everyone involved to adjust and seek assistance—something nobody enjoys doing! Ultimately, this suggests that even though these situations are hard, asking for help shouldn't ever feel like something to worry about.
