I Hear Thunder

About This Movie

I Hear Thunder is a fascinating exploration of sound and perception through the lens of misophonia. Naomi Berry's candid reflections invite us into her world, where everyday noises take on a weight that many of us can't fathom. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in her experiences, which are at once personal yet universal. The documentary is stripped of flashy effects; instead, it relies on raw interviews and ambient soundscapes that evoke the very sensations Naomi grapples with. It’s a quiet but impactful piece that challenges how we think about sound and its effects on mental well-being. Definitely a unique entry in the documentary genre, not just for its subject but for its approach to storytelling too.
