Misophonia

About This Movie

Misophonia is an intriguing exploration of sensory overload wrapped in animation. The film captures a very relatable moment—a bus ride home—only to twist it into this chaotic soundscape that’s almost unbearable for the protagonist. This commuter, who clearly values her quiet moments, finds herself increasingly surrounded by noise, which is a clever way to visualize the often-invisible struggle with sound sensitivity. The pacing is deliberate; it builds tension as more people board, each adding to the auditory chaos. It’s distinctive because it makes you feel the discomfort alongside her through its animation and sound design. Those practical effects really enhance the atmosphere and give depth to her isolation amidst the crowd. It’s a unique entry in animated storytelling, definitely worth a discussion.
