The pacing feels deliberate, letting the emotional beats settle in. The performances, especially of the lead, are raw and genuine, capturing the nuances of a young deaf man's struggle for connection. Rory Dering manages to balance heavier moments with light-hearted interactions that feel authentic. The atmosphere is intimate, almost like you're eavesdropping on a private journey. There’s this palpable tension when it comes to the boyfriend's reluctance to come out, which adds depth to their relationship.
