Riz Ahmed might have given the best performance of the year; Rubin’s journey is believable and you really feel for him. Sound design and narrative flow are pluses, too!

A small film that hits big, Sound Of Metal is a gem you’ll want to bang the drum for.

Marder uses sound and silence as essential character elements. He offers frequent, jarring contrasts between what Ruben hears and what we do. This isn’t just to emphasize what Ruben has lost. It’s also a reminder: Silence can be shattering. It can also be beautiful. And it can bring peace.

Propelled by a distinctive style and a potent lead performance, Darius Marder’s Sound of Metal builds a singular tension between silence and noise.
