\"\"Rating: \"👍🏽\"<\/p>\n

What? is a remarkable film. \u00a0It is supremely entertaining, funny, and thoughtful. \u00a0Mostly it is brilliant cinema. \u00a0I make a point of calling this movie “cinema” because director Alek Lev has made a love letter to Hollywood’s silent era while keeping it contemporary, fresh and entertaining. \u00a0There is not one filmmaking element that the makers of “What?” did not use the fullest degree; cinematography, soundtrack, production design, and of course the brilliant acting.<\/p>\n

And there’s one more thing. \u00a0What? conveys a sober yet heartening message of inclusion for the deaf community, but it is so entertaining that it isn’t a message movie. \u00a0It’s cinema at its best!<\/p>\n
