The stories of two deaf teenagers, 50 years apart, told in parallel. So it's obvious from a mile away there will be a 'big reveal' at the end, where we discover how these two people are related. After a few impossible coincidences pushing these two characters closer and closer, the 'big reveal' happens, and we say: "Okay ... so what?" Would've loved for the recreated 1977 New York City segments to go on forever, but that wasn't the purpose of the movie. The purpose, was the dumb 'big reveal'.
