A Sign to Try

About This Movie

So, 'A Sign to Try' really explores the inner conflict of a hard-of-hearing high schooler trying to navigate her way in the acting scene. The pacing feels natural—like it takes its time with her journey but still keeps you engaged. There's this unique blend of drama and familial ties that really comes through, especially in the moments between her and her mother. The performances are heartfelt, quite raw at times, and the use of ASL throughout the film adds a distinctive layer that just feels right. It’s refreshing to see a story that doesn’t shy away from the complexities of identity and acceptance, while grounding it all in a very relatable setting. Definitely something special in how it connects these two worlds.
