Love Is Never Silent (1985 TV Movie)
10/10
Top movies to watch before you die

It is extremely rare for me to give a 10 on anything. I've read lots of books and tons of movies. But this movie, Love is Never Silent, is an excellent and captivating drama about Margaret's demanding struggles of love and shame with her Deaf parents in the 1930s and 40s. Her hard-working mother, Mrs. Anglin, carries a frustrating cynicism and grudge throughout movie until the very end. Perhaps, it was because Mrs. Anglin is a smart woman but faced many communication barriers and also struggles for her independence. Her gentle father shows his love but can be hard to please or trust anyone. The props and era setting are excellent. And a tearjerker from the beginning to the end.

I've watched this film from the Hallmark Hall of Fame several times over the years and I still can't hold back my tears and lump in my throat. And I'm a tough guy next to impossible to make me cry but I can't fight back on this one.
