Sound of Freedom | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tara Brady Irish Times It’s refreshingly unaffected. The storytelling is routine. It warrants neither its hard-core disciples nor its worst enemies. Ignore the dishonest huffing and puffing. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Sound of Freedom | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Wendy Ide Observer (UK) A thunderously crass and manipulative movie that is hampered by erratic pacing, pantomime bad guys and an overfondness for shots of Caviezel weeping God-fearing, manly tears. Rated: 2/5 Sep 3, 2023 Full Review Sound of Freedom | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Kevin EG Perry Empire Magazine Jim Caviezel is a one-man scourge of child predators in this well-meaning thriller that doesn’t entirely deserve to be written off as culture-war propaganda. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Sound of Freedom | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Romey Norton Film Focus Online Overall, Sound of Freedom is politically charged - it’s trying to shed light on a very real world-wide issue but due to lack of character development, bad acting and long run time it might fail to entertain and engage you as a viewer. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Sound of Freedom | Rotten Tomatoes (5) John Serba Decider And yet, for a film about a man engaging in precarious subterfuge among deep-jungle guerilla traffickers, it’s weirdly boring, its tension and intensity diluted by cornball overtures... and Caviezel’s long, slow, brooding stares. Nov 3, 2023 Full Review Sound of Freedom | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) Monteverde's visual elegance is undermined by a script full of unnecessary clarifications, and underlinings. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Edlyn G Very interesting movie. Made my husband and I rethink how freely we are with our children … makes us want to keep them connected at the hip. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Oma_Gravy Gripping. Its a really good tear-jerker. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review D. Lopez I thought the movie was very well done. The topic is a tough one but people should be aware of it. The real story is even more unbelievable but worth the listen. I heard some of it when I was watching an episode of Timcast on YouTube. I think this movie deserved to be in more theaters just like City of Dreams which just came out. Unfortunately, City of Dreams is in less theaters around me so I may not get to see it due to the restrictions of showing locations and showing times. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Jade A wonderful About faith and the realities Child sex Trafficking. I recommend a stress ball and tissues. Because this movie will make you mad and it will make you cry, but it's worth seeing? Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review First L An eye-opening movie. Must see. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Larry C currently relevant, ugly world and we need to do more Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
