Starring: Aaron Paul, Scoot McNairy, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Danny Murphy, etc. [10] Mary Elizabeth Winstead previously worked with Aaron Paul on Smashed but in this film Paul had completed filming before she arrived and they had no scenes together. Wesley is a careful, thoughtful observer of the world around him, and this movie challenges us to look as closely as he does. The coloring of the film matches the low sun, and the cold temperatures, making much of the film (spent in a barn) a refuge, for both characters. And for such a bleak and harsh tale, The Parts You Lose finds some rays of light at the end of the night.

Newcomer Murphy, who is Deaf, gives a performance filled with wonder, while trying to hide the feelings showing on his face. Format: DVD. Cantwell’s terrific AMC drama, “Halt and Catch Fire”. Viewers of The Parts You Lose have the opportunity to view the world through a different perspective than typically portrayed – through the eyes of this young deaf boy, played authentically by deaf actor Danny Murphy. Cantwell noted the crew “had translators and liaisons just off-screen to help him in terms of where we were in the scene if he got lost” because he was playing someone who could lip read when Murphy himself could not. No one is just one thing, and I think the best characters highlight that. “I’m not deaf and none of the senior producers, department heads, or crew members were,” Cantwell explained. Depicting the burgeoning friendship between a 10-year-old deaf boy and a seriously wounded bank robber (played by Aaron Paul) whom he secretly nurses back to health, The Parts You Lose … Hovering between two very different men, Wesley is unable to verbalize exactly what he needs — the sole word that escapes him is a wail of abandonment that echoes long after the fugitive has disappeared. He always does. [18] On Metacritic the film has a score of 47% based on reviews from 6 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [8] In the following December, actors Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Scoot McNairy were cast as the deaf boy's parents. The Parts You Lose is a thoughtful if not meager meditation on the relationships that define us. Aaron Paul plays a violent fugitive whose life is saved by a lonely deaf boy in this downbeat thriller. The Deaf experience of the protagonist of the film needed to real, out of respect for the Deaf community, but more so to fully believe the character’s POV in the story.”. In one telling scene, Ronnie glances at a colleague at the auto shop teaching his son about Wesley's age about the different kinds of wrenches. Synopsis. The Parts You Lose had its world premiere on March 14, 2019 at the 2019 Sun Valley Film Festival in Sun Valley, Idaho.
