Children of a Lesser God

Great movie. But Deaf people take offense at being called “hearing impaired”... You should correct your description. The only two proper terms are “Deaf” or “Hard of Hearing.” Being deaf isn’t an impairment. Deaf people can do anything that anyone else can; they simply can’t hear.

I love this movie! It is very sweet and as I am a Sign Language student I find this good practice. For all the people that don't know sign and want to watch this there really is no problem. He just repeats what Sarah says most of the time so no worries :)

This movie is fantastic, a bit of a chick flick, but I can live with that. I also think if you can't watch this movie because of no closed caption, then learn sign; if opens up a whole new world.

I like movies but I'm upset that I couldn't watch on iTunes because of no closed caption. :(

This is a very good film. William Hurt and Marlee Matalin give truly riveting performances (the "Speak to me!" part? Fantastic). William Hurt is also terribly attractive in this movie, too. But seriously, it is a really good film and a really interesting glimpse into the world of deaf people and the people who teach them and interact with them. It's really nice to see characters with "disablities" who are potrayed as fully human with all the range of emotions as other people. Marlee Matalin won an Oscar for her performance, and she totes deserves it. I would give this film five stars were it not for the music. The soundtrack really takes away from this movie.
