COMING TO THEATERS
MARLEE MATLIN: NOT ALONE ANYMORE
“Fascinating, devastating…MARLEE MATLIN: NOT ALONE ANYMORE gives hearing viewers the experience of watching a film that’s intended for an audience with different capabilities, people who speak a different language. It’s as much about its form as its content; what it says is demonstrated by how it says it. The resulting film is engrossing — and it’s also profound.” – Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times
