Probably one of my favorites from last year. Riz Ahmed plays the lead role of Ruben with such conviction and is perfect. Paul Raci is also very as his mentor and friends throughout the film. As a musician, I was very intrigued with the premise and story and thought It was done very well. A very eye-opening and insightful movie that I highly recommend.

This gets my default score for a great movie I doubt I'll ever want to watch again. Ahmed is mesmeric and makes you really feel the anger, fear and frustration of this man whose life and love is devastatingly taken away from him so abruptly. This isn't the type of film I enjoy watching as it's just too depressing. Great movie, just not for me.

Baterist Ruben, sağır olduğunu öğrenince, hayatına yeniden bakmayı öğrenecektir. Film, insan oğlunun her rahatsız olduğu durumdan nasıl kurtulacağı anlatılmış. Fakat filmin iyi yanları olduğu kadar, kötü durumları var. İyi olan yanı ses tasarımı ve Riz Ahmed. Kötü tarafı ise 1 Guguk Kuşu ve gri renkli kasvetli sinematografi. Filmin sonunda, oh be dünya varmış. Davulun sesi uzaktan hoş gelir.

Riz Ahmed carries the entire film giving an incredibly nuanced performance.His arc is equally beautiful as it is heartbreaking.The moment of realization that the thing he wanted all along wasn't at all what he got is truly soul-crushing.The use of sound as well throughout is expertly done.Paul Raci is wonderful also.

Im surprised tinnitus didn’t play a role in this otherwise very empathetic and genuine movie. Afaik, most deafness comes with it, and it would be a challenge on a completely different level to be able to reach the point of “stillness” the main character experiences at the end. Of course I realize the stillness might be metaphoric. (Then again, I’m glad I didn’t have to endure tinnitus sound design during the movie, I’m hearing enough of it as it is. Going to bed now, bye!)

The construction of the frustration with reality after the main character becomes deaf is trully outstanding. The scenes where the character is losing audition create a very unconfortable place.

Undoubtedly well made, with good use of sound, esp. the ending, but the film is a bit of a mess. Whilst I feel deafness would be a blessing to avoid his G/Fs' singing, my main issues were the fact that Hector said he could get someone to "help". If it were me, like Ruben, I would expect that to be "help" for his hearing loss, not some commune to isolate him from his G/F, from society, and to give him some where to "pointlessly" while away the rest of his life. Surely that is not the 'help' requi

The brilliant sound design is obviously a completely essential part of the film but what makes this slow-burning, albeit always thoroughly engaging drama so riveting are Marder's direction (Oscar snub!) and Ahmed's committed lead performance. And the ending is simply superb.

Riz Ahmed is phenomenal! The sound design is impeccable. The ending is perfect. The plot/screenplay leave much to be desired. Making him an addict in addition to the hearing loss made the film more predictable than it otherwise would have been. I wish they would have spent more time on his/their backstory(s). In general though the film just had a lot of communication issues (no pun intended) in how they conveyed certain plot points to the audience.

Great movie. Being a musician myself, I found this to be a difficult yet comforting watch. I completely felt for Ruben and even Lou. Paul Raci was very good and I liked Riz Ahmed quite a bit too. The sound design is really fantastic and it’s really well edited and written. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like about it. She extra background of Lou and Rubens music career would have been nice, but also very long. One of the best 2020 had to offer.

Has that elusive human touch that makes it feel true to life. This is in large part thanks to Riz Ahmed delivering a performance that feels wrong to even call a performance. The script and direction knows what is important, stripping away anything that doesn't have to do with the emotional journey at the center. It is a story about a character dealing with a terrible "setback" and finding his center again, free from any of the wallowing or melodrama such a description conjures.

Proves familiar material can be distinguished by the specificity of its characters – bouquets to Ahmed and Raci whose wrenchingly honest performances distinguish this. While Ahmed provides a subtle, underplayed portrait of encroaching desperation, Raci may well steal the show, creating a depth of back story to a character only defined in broad strokes on the page. The closed-in nature of Ruben means a final emotional release is lacking that might have made it a little more satisfying.

Part of me was left wondering why they needed to make him an addict on top of being deaf but felt it ended up paying off even if it was in a pretty basic way. Can never trust a rich person who is into punk at all and he learned the real hard way

This obvious winner of multiple Best Sound awards is so close of being phenomenal. If only the director would let go of the screenplay and let the writer run the show, even better things would happen.
