I first watched this movie when I was 13. I just watched it again over the weekend, and 25 years later, it was astonishing to see. Some parts, I identify with, and some parts did not age well.
I have a vague recollection of this movie, and I’m so glad to know what it is now! It would float back to me my mind in bits and pieces, I remember the moment the mother realizes her son is deaf because he’s not disturbed by the emergency vehicle sirens (maybe an ambulance?), and fights they would have about it, and the dad singing “Beautiful Cole.” I’ll have to go watch it now to get the whole picture. Thanks for pulling back the curtain on some of my own dusty memories by retelling the story in your own way; that was fun!

It’s a great movie. I loved it… but that part with Rowena was really shocking.
