Waterland

No suntitles

(Edit) 18/11/2024

Difficult for HoH or deaf people to watch with no subtitles and a pity as the cast list and plot looks superb.

Cassandra's Dream

No subtitles

(Edit) 13/11/2023

Annoying but this DVD version is not English subtitled so for those of us with hearing problems, trying to watch is a waste of time, hence the one star.

The Escape

No subtitles

(Edit) 27/02/2023

A word of warning for anyone deaf or hard of hearing that there are no English subtitles, so a wasted rental. I would have expected better from the distributors. Few DVDs these days fail to with this facility.

Mr. Jones

No subtitles

(Edit) 07/09/2020

As with previous reviewer, I would have loved to have watched this film but I am one of substantial minority of people with hearing loss who are dependent on subtitles.

This is 2020 surely the production company can produce the DVD in Blue-ray wide screen with a choice of sound systems but no subtitles. Shame on you and no sympathy if you lose money and get poor reviews.

Piercing

Difficult to review

(Edit) 16/09/2019

Difficult to review this film as unusually for modern DVDs there were no subtitles. Judging by the other reviews, it did not look as if I have missed anything but it probably tells you a lot a out the film and distributors that they do not take into account people with physical impediments.

The Case for Christ

Had to give up

(Edit) 23/04/2018

Sorry I had to give up watching this film as it did not have subtitles and I am hard of hearing. Poor show by the DVD distributors Kaleidoscope Home Ent. in this day and age. I shall in future, avoid their films.

Arthur and Mike

Don't bother

(Edit) 21/05/2017

If you are hard of hearing there are no English subtitles.

Presumably, the distributors Arrow Films either overlooked or ignored the 16% of people who need subtitles to enjoy a film!

Wild Oats

No subtitles

(Edit) 11/05/2017

Unfortunately this film had no English subtitles so had to give up as I am deaf. Pity as it had a good cast and looked good. Pity that the distributors let down their actors by denying access to around 15% of the population.

Lessons in Love

Grrrrr

(Edit) 01/03/2017

There were no subtitles for this film, which fine if you can hear OK but a waste of time if you are hard of hearing. So I have only given it one star as I hardly watched any of it. Distributors of such DVDs only have themselves to blame if their films are rated lowly for being so indifferent to those whose hearing may not be as good as theirs.

Chronic

Poor show

(Edit) 01/03/2017

There were no subtitles for this film, which fine if you can hear OK but a waste of time if you are hard of hearing. So I have only given it one star as I hardly watched any of it. Distributors of such DVDs only have themselves to blame if their films are rated lowly for being so indifferent to those whose hearing may not be as good as theirs.

However, I have learnt my lesson and will now check all films on my list instead of assuming they have English-language subtitles.
