Sound Of Metal is a drama film released in 2020 distributed by Prime Video and directed by Darius Marder.
First, it is essential that the film is watched at a very high volume and in total silence, because, due to the protagonist being deaf, the feature focuses a lot on the noises and sounds around him. Sound editing is great and gives a very realistic tone to the story, there are times when you get a little distressed by not hearing or understanding some things, and this is great, because it makes the viewer feel like the character. In fact, speaking of the protagonist, he is one of the best things in the film, without a doubt it is the best work of Riz Ahmed's career and can even earn him an Oscar nomination, all the characters are very well developed, with the character of Olivia Cooke , who plays the girlfriend of the main character, the actress is very well in the role, but she is not as well worked as the others, in the third act they even try to give her a greater depth, but nothing much. The film's photography is good, it has very beautiful plans and the director knows what he's doing. The feature also braces with some comic reliefs that work well, help to lighten the film a little. After all, it is very pleasant to follow the character's trajectory, you really care and support him a lot.
I think the third act is a little less than the first two, it is good, of course, but not as good as the others, but the film gets it right at the perfect moment, the final message is very good.
