Have you seen it again since? If not, you could watch it again and give us ratings for how good it is with dialogue, versus without? Would be neat if they accidentally made a silent movie that’s better than the version with full audio. But I think as a control, you should also get back together with that girlfriend and be on the phone with her while you watch it. She’ll understand, it’s for science.
As just a personal thing, the original mute watching was so surreal and unique, I enjoyed it more - solving the mystery of what is happening from what’s shown visually alone (and some subdued music) - but that is a deeply subjective thing.

Oh no, I couldn’t do that to her, she definitely deserved better.
