Deeper Expansion of Pretty Woman's Love Tale
29 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The film portrayed a unique lens into the lives of someone with autism looking for love and a trafficked young woman who'd lost hope in love. These two lives intertwine and remind us what it's like to be human in uncomfortable circumstances. It took me a short time to feel engaged with the film and its characters, but once they had me, they had me and I enjoyed the journey.

My reference to Pretty Woman touches upon this film's similarities of romance and circumstances. The Sound of Violet goes deeper with layers reminding the viewer of today's trafficking challenges, the uncomfortableness of dating, autism's POV and more importantly, the love that can overcome struggles.

Cora and Cason's performances were moving and tugged at my heart strings. Demonstration of vulnerability and overcoming tremendous obstacles was truly a reminder of the power of human spirit.

It dances with serious topics and is light enough to bring a smile and maybe some tears for nice date night.
