SOUND OF METAL

Heavy metal drummer Ruben, played marvelously by Riz Ahmed, suddenly and unexpectedly losses his hearing. A former addict, Ruben leans heavily on his girlfriend Lou (Olivia Cooke) rather than substance abuse, to help him through this life changing event by distraction as opposed to confronting the problem. Lou, realizing the severity of the situation and being more pragmatic, encourages Ruben to go to a deaf community to adapt to his change in lifestyle. Director Darius Marder does a wonderful job putting the audience in Ruben's shoes while at the community. Immersing the audience into how it feels to not only be deaf, but being the newcomer in a foreign environment. Naturally, Ruben runs the gamut of emotions from frustration of not knowing sign language and being excluded from every activity upon his arrival, to isolation, anger, loneliness, and heartbreak. A gutting movie about self-reliance and self-sufficiency with strong performances all around. A shout out must also be given to Paul Raci, who plays Joe, the leader and mentor of Ruben at the deaf community. Definitely worth checking out on Amazon Prime. 6.5/10
