To celebrate the release of the outstanding Sound of Metal, out to Download & Keep, to Rent on Digital and to own on Blu-ray on May 31 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, we’ve got two copies to giveaway on Blu-ray!
Our 4-star review is here for this film that follows a musician who loses his hearing, and must find stability now that his life has been upended, starring Academy Awards nominee Riz Ahmed and Olivia Cooke. Written and directed by Darius Marder, it also stars Paul Raci, Lauren Ridloff and Mathieu Amalric.
Sound of Metal follows Ruben (Ahmed) and Lou (Cooke) nomadic musicians who together travel gig to gig on an endless American tour. Their music is loud, frenzied and passionate, until one day Ruben is overwhelmed by a severe ringing in his ears, which quickly gives way to deafness.
Ruben is suddenly overcome by anxiety, depression, and soon enough his past addictions begin to surface. Ruben checks himself into a home for deaf addicts run by an eccentric deaf veteran, Joe. In this world of silence and under Joe’s tough, observant care, Ruben must confront himself more honestly than ever before. But the love and sound of his old life echoes in Ruben’s mind, calling for him to return…
