There was "Miracle Boy" before, and "Listening Girl" after. This kind of uninspired American chicken soup movie is too long when I watch it at 1.5x speed. Every plot is deliberate. Under such a script, Replacing the protagonist's musical dream with painting and writing, and the deaf-mute family with blind and disabled people are all completely established. Anyway, here, you are the greatest if you have a dream, and a dream is amazing.

The best crying movie this year is not the heroine's tangle of burdening the family or letting herself fly, but the more delicate observation habits, more straightforward communication methods, and more intense feelings between family members formed under the hearing impairment. The emotional expression helped them bridge the intergenerational gap. The heroine was so likable that even the "singing street" boy was bleak under her bright performance.

Frank Rossi: The song you sang tonight. What was it about?
Ruby Rossi: It was about... what it is to need another person.
Frank Rossi: Can you sing it for me?

Ruby Rossi: [signing] Did you ever wish I was deaf?
Jackie Rossi: [signing] When you were born, at the hospital, they gave you a hearing test. And there you were, so tiny and sweet, with those electrodes all over you. And I... prayed that you would be deaf. When they told us that you were hearing, I felt... My heart sank.
Ruby Rossi: [signing] Why?
Jackie Rossi: [signing] I was worried that we wouldn't connect. Like me and my mom, we're not close. I thought I would fail you. That being deaf would make me a bad mom.
Ruby Rossi: [signing] Don't worry. You are a bad mom for so many other reasons.
[They laugh]
