Children of a Lesser God
1986
**½
Director: Randa Haines
Cast: Marlee Matlin, William Hurt, Piper Laurie, Philip Bosco, Alison Gompf
A love story between a teacher and a young deaf woman. There are funny and touching moments, but the film becomes a bit tiresome, not to mention illogical, when he has to speak out every line of her dialogue so we know what she says. Marlee Matlin is good in her Oscar winning role. Based on Mark Medoff's stage play.
