Reviews

Critics have offered mixed responses to Scene Not Heard, reflecting its polarizing nature. IMDb users have rated the film an average of 6.6/10, indicating a moderate appreciation for its experimental style. On Rotten Tomatoes, while an official score is not available due to limited mainstream release, several independent reviewers praised the film's innovative approach. For instance, Experimental Cinema Journal noted that 'Scene Not Heard pushes the boundaries of film language, with Lady B’s presence anchoring an otherwise abstract montage.' However, some reviewers found the absence of a clear narrative challenging; FilmCritic.com commented that 'the film may alienate viewers expecting conventional storytelling, as it dwells heavily on atmosphere and sensation rather than plot.' Metacritic does not have an aggregated score, but individual reviews vary between admiration for its bold creativity and criticism for its niche appeal. Overall, the film is recommended for audiences interested in experimental and non-verbal cinema rather than mainstream viewers seeking traditional narratives.
