While Holly Hunter's character does not talk she does have a close relationship with her daughter and uses sign language with her

martin disagreed with the rating and said:
I think sign languege deffintly counts as talking, as long as it's clear what the conversation is about.

And what are they talking about most of the time? About men. I wouldn't count Flora translating the sign-language as them talking to each other ;-)

The rating is ok but limited, in this movie it does not matters the dialogues between the characters, first because she can't talk, second because it's a deep emotional an passion driven story, what it counts in here is the actions full of meaning between the characters, with a lot of respect to being a man or a woman, they are just humans living an intense experience of life.
