When a movie makes you wait for it to be really good, it can be a pretty frustrating experience, but I see something different when reflecting on this film.

From beginning to hate the film for displaying a very unlikable character, this story really does a great job at winning you over, especially through it's silent, visual storytelling in the background, foreground, and even anytime that it makes it blatantly obvious. When this aspect comes into play a little later in the movie, I'd be lying if I said it didn't move me. Every time he would pass by other people that knew him, they had X's on their face. Throughout Ishida's transformation from a bully to a kind-hearted human being, it wasn't just the dialogue that impacted me, but the visuals surrounding him. So that's the warning I must give you, that if you're not ready to be forgiving of a terrible actions, I'd wait until you're in the right mood to watch this movie. A Silent Voice asks for your acceptance almost too often, but trust me, if you're in the forgiving mood, this film turns out to be extremely powerful. After growing up and leaving his harsh ways in the past, these two characters reconnect, forming a highly unlikely bond.

I found myself absolutely hating his character, which was very frustrating, due to the fact that the film asks you to sympathize with him on multiple occasions. Without ruining the impact of certain scenes, I'll just say that his actions were quite Risqué. Ishida, the school bully, taunts her to the point of tears, for audiences as well. Here is why A Silent Voice deserves to be seen by everyone, even though it won't please everyone.Īt its core, this film is about a new student that comes into a school, who just so happens to be hearing impaired. Keep in mind, this can be a very tough film to sit through for multiple reasons, and that is exactly what I'm going to dive into throughout this review, because I feel that a few precautions should be taken when going in. This is a spectacular film from start to finish. When it comes to anime, I don't find myself watching nearly enough in order to form a list of favourites, but even if I had watched everything under the moon, I still believe A Silent Voice would make the list.
