The opening credits
I think the opening sequence works very well in conveying the crux of the movie. Little Helen snatching and throwing the Christmas decoration ball which crashes with no sound makes so much impact by putting the audience in her place.. of course she can't see the ball being smashed too. The scene was very powerful and while many people feel the movie is stagey, I think this scene itself shows the power of cinema which we can't seen on stage.
