![]() ![]() But once you get on its unique wavelength, you might find White Noise to be a thought-provoking and darkly funny film. I don't usually do this, but I'm going to defer to Netflix's description for this one, because it's really good: " White Noise dramatizes a contemporary American family's attempts to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life while grappling with the universal mysteries of love, death, and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world." That's exactly what it's about! Reviews have been more mixed than you might expect for a film with this pedigree, perhaps because DeLillo's stylized dialogue is meant to be read, not spoken aloud, so it sounds really weird, not at all like how people actually speak. Stars: Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, Lars Eidinger, Jodie Turner-SmithĪdam Driver and Greta Gerwig star in director Noah Baumbach's adaptation of Don DeLillo's classic postmodern satirical novel. ![]() ![]() Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, White Noise Wilson Webb/Netflix ![]() ![]() ![]() There is an aspect of this book that really took me by surprise, and it makes things that much more heartbreaking. It was easy to see that they were being manipulated and that things weren’t okay, but I could also understand some of their reasoning for sticking around and not speaking up. I felt so bad for Denver and her friends. I don’t know if Merc is based on anyone in particular, but he reminded me of R. This is a really intense read, so definitely check your trigger and content warnings. One of the girls drops out, but the other could really use the money that Merc, the producer, promises them is coming, which is another reason that Denver tries to ignore the things she doesn’t think are okay. Despite this, Denver is determined to stick it out and make her dreams come true. He doesn’t want their parents or guardians to know they are working together at first, and from there, it’s one icky thing after another. ![]() Almost from the beginning, you know the guy is sketchy. With her and her two best friends, Dali and Shak, they get the attention of a top music producer. Muted is a YA novel told in verse, following 17-year old Denver. ![]() |
