Desperate to find a wife, Shawn goes on one awkward date after another until he meets Violet. He thinks she's his soulmate, but his autism and trusting nature keep him from realizing she's actually a prostitute. Violet realizes something is different about Shawn, and it's not just because he has a condition that allows him to "hear" colors. Shawn thinks he's found a potential wife, while Violet thinks she's found her ticket out of her own trapped life. Based on the award-winning novel.

"The characters are so one-dimensional that the film appears to flounder when asked to provide any secondary features of them beyond the single adjective identifiers that would fit on a pitch card: autistic, prostitute, grandmother, pimp, boss..."

Sappy and preachy to a fault, the melodrama The Sound of Violet pushes the sexist message that a woman who’s a sex worker can’t be happy unless she’s rescued by a man with enough money to take care of her. The Sound of Violet is completely tone-deaf.

Clunky, contrived and so saccharine that it could end up giving you a cavity.

Once the drama of its chosen realities thicken and the laughs no longer come easy, its sense of correction can feel quite heavy-handed.

Maybe it's a little too brave.

Perhaps this offensive melodrama worked better on the page, where its abrupt tonal shifts and wackadoo plot twists could have a little more room to breathe or, at the very least, allow for the necessary suspension of disbelief.

I read the book and loved the movie. I appreciated how it showed a new perspective on the struggles of dating and finding the perfect mate for everyone. Understanding how people face different challenges in their lives. It's a sweet and serious love story.

I liked the chemistry between the two leads. It a lot of heart. A bit farfetched in the storyline with the grandma accepting the grand daughter in law with her past. Also her seeming to like the doorman. All in all I thought it was a enjoyable film to pass the time.
