ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Morten_5 Taglined 'The first musical cop movie', Swedish experimental comedy-crime-music flick "Sound of Noise" delivers some creatively fun scenes.Written and directed by Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne Nilsson, the film is their feature debut. Simonsson and Stjärne Nilsson had made a few acclaimed short films together before trying their first full-length movie. They have been praised for their absurd and black humour. Here, again, this humour is certainly present, but what works best is the joy and inspiration with which they've made the creative music scenes in the film.

secondtake Sound of Noise (2010)An absurdist, zany, intense, unpredictable film. Rather amazing, really, if you can let go of an ordinary sense of plot and progression.At the center is a group of drummers who agree to perform a series of pieces by a cutting edge composer all around the city. But their instruments become found objects, heavy machinery, office items, hospital equipment (and hospital patient), so that their performances are intrusive, dangerous, illegal, and wonderfully outrageous.And funny. Sometimes you laugh aloud, sometimes you just are amused and amazed.In opposition to this group is a detective who grew up in a family of musicians but who is tone deaf. And he as a special ability to track the musical perps in their crimes--which you'll see. Kudos should also go to the filmmakers themselves, who make this craziness very fluid and beautiful. Contemporary Stockholm is shown as complex and beautiful and modern and not a Swedish Ikea stereotype. Finally there is a kind of interpersonal plot that is sort of fun and thin and helps hold the various performance pieces together. Maybe anything more intense on this score would have watered down the absurdist heights of the best of it, but this subplot does have a feel-good pops quality that the rest of the movie avoids. And it's the rest of the movie--mainly the "music" as it happens before your eyes--that is what counts. Great stuff!

Enchorde Amadeus Warnebring is the black sheep of the family, completely tone deaf, where as everyone else is musical prodigies. Amadeus went on to be a cop instead and is put in charge of the mysterious investigation where the only clue is a metronome left behind. And soon a group of anonymous percussionists starts to terrorize the city with music.Sound of Noise is a very odd movie. Forget that the dialog and story are somewhat stiff and wooden at times, it is the music that is everything. And it rocks. Especially the piece with the heavy machinery was spectacular, but the performance at the hospital was catching as well. Anyone who likes rhythm is in for a real treat.7/10

Simonster Viewed at the Festival du Film, Cannes 2010Now that you've read the plot summary... Okay, a group of drummers terrorise a city with their daring musical 'raids' while a tone deaf, music hating, detective tries to track them down... The Sound of Noise is the kind of dark comedic madness only the Scandinavians do so well: percussionists as musical terrorists laying down the beat for an entire city.This is a conceit built around the musicians themselves, taking several of their set-piece numbers and weaving them into a narrative structure. In this sense, seen as a film with the classic three act structure, story and character development etc., Sound of Noise is less successful. But as a showcase for amazing musical ability and sheer imagination, this film cannot be beaten.
