I’ve never been so irritated watching a film in my life until I saw “Noise,” by Tony Spiridakis. I felt like I was being tortured as much as the woman protagonist, who recently got divorced and who also had to deal with insanely loud noises in her apartment. There’s a part in this movie where a therapy scene got uncontrollably annoying that so I needed to escape as she did and I turned off the television because I couldn’t handle the situation the way she couldn’t handle hers. Though it never bothered me to watch films about human being having such problems that they turn into monsters in terms of their mindset, “Noise” uniquely manage to pester me in a disturbing way. “Noise” is a very well written film with a magnificent performance from a motion picture debutant Trish Goff. There’s a great scene where Goff was talking to her neighbor, who causes the loud noises in the apartment, telling her that she shouldn’t be punished for anything, and that she is a human being who deserves peace and quiet. I think, as a human being, that we will never find that peace and quiet if we do not understand the people around us. This is a disturbing masterful film about annoyance and repugnance in life.
