PHIL ON FILM: PhilVillarreal says 'The Sound of Violet' is a Christian rom-com that ranges from cringey to heartwarming.
TUCSON, Ariz. —"The Sound of Violet" isn't shy about facing a minefield of tough topics. Maybe it's a little too brave.
Writer/director Allen Wolf, who also penned the novel, tiptoes along the lines of caricature and earnestness to varying degrees of success. I found the story involving and the performances strong, but winced at some of the heavy-handedness and tone-deafness. After a comically awkward"first date" in which neither party understands the other's intentions, a tenuous friendship between Shawn and Violet starts to blossom into a romance. Shawn's support network, led by his uptight, judgmental grandmother, Ruth , sniffs out Violet's true identity and works to undermine the relationship.
