The History of Sound

"The performances are remarkable, particularly [Paul] Mescal’s—just to watch him listening is galvanizing."

"Its buttoned-up nature and chasteness might frustrate those hoping for a more salacious story, but [director Oliver] Hermanus and writer Ben Shatuck have produced a unique and moving romance for those willing to listen."

^{–Hannah Strong, Little White Lies}

"The History of Sound is as plaintive and lilting as a piano note in minor key, never wallowing in its own misery but still keen to explore the psychic sensations, afterglow, and wreckage of a meaningful connection."
