Sundance. Hear and Now.

"The cochlear implant - already the star of another Sundance documentary, 2000's Sound and Fury - is the hook to Hear and Now," begins Susan Gerhard at indieWIRE. "But the two retirement-aged parents who live like teenagers, perpetually sneaking out the bedroom window for a late-night adventure, are actually the story. These kooky characters, and parents, of director Irene Taylor Brodsky are well cast in a documentary drama that's less a treatise on a topical medical controversy than a carefully observed study of aging love in flux."

"Though Taylor Brodsky focuses exclusively on her parents, Paul and Sally Taylor, this is no amateur home movie," writes Peter Debruge in Variety.

Zack Haddad in Film Threat: "his film is one worth finding when you can. It has to be one of the most personable documentaries I have ever seen and my only qualm is that I wish that there were some way to find out how they have progressed since the surgery."

IndieWIRE interviews Taylor Brodsky.
