The Orphan

This scene (< link as embed code disabled) from The Orphan is one of the most amazing scenes I have seen in a film. I believe it is the simplicity of it that stands out so much to me. It allows you to truly understand what it's like to be deaf and it really is breath-taking - I found myself rewinding it over and over again. The overall film is not brilliant however if they had played on the idea of having scenes from the young deaf girl's point of view, it could have been beautiful (although still a "horror" film).
