Sound of Metal 2020

I’m a little lost for words to describe this film... it is a journey for both the protagonist and the viewer. It is evocative and intimate. The acting is powerful. It really is an actor driven vehicle. It is not about Metal music, so if you are not a metal head, be patient with the opening minutes of noise, turn down the volume and wait. It actually becomes somewhat of a study of silence. It was nominated for 6 Oscars (2021). I don’t think it will win Best Picture but it is definitely worthy of its nominations. If the competition wasn’t so stiff for Actor in a Leading Role, Riz Ahmed would be a contender. His performance is a 10. But, for the whole film, I give this an 8 (very good) out of 10. [Drama]
