Sound of Metal follows the life of heavy-metal drummer Ruben, whose life gets thrown into disarray as he begins to lose his hearing.

With this picture’s stunning use of (academy award winning) sound, we are able to experience Ruben’s journey, as he comes to grips with the immense challenge he’s now facing.

A film that beautifully communicates its world and the characters inside it, using silence to its advantage, not to mention, an informative window into the American Sign Language (ASL) community, get involved.

Available on Amazon Prime.
