Amid the seasonal din of so many raucous summer blockbusters, Noise offers blessed relief in the form of a strong central performance, sharp dialogue and edgy humor.

How can you resist a hero who gets worked up because a car alarm disrupts his extremely tenuous grasp on a difficult but life altering passage of Hegel?

Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

Amusing but marginal.

The black comedy Noise may be a one-joke movie but it's a resonant one.

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

A tale of obsession and vigilantism cut with humor and a little Hegel, Henry Bean's Noise is a satisfyingly screwy New York story in which a successful businessman/family man jettisons all because he can't stand the cacophony on the street.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
