Newcomer Darius Marder’s debut feature delivers a film of extraordinary confidence and value, underpinned by a career-defining performance from Oscar nominee, Riz Ahmed. As drummer Ruben, Ahmed’s portrayal of a troubled ex-addict succumbing to profound deafness is as gripping as it is harrowing, and drives the movie from an intriguing modern fable to much greater heights.
The soundscape of Ruben’s new life without sound is incredible and daring. Rock solid and one for Big Screen & Sound exposure.
