I liked it. the audio effects were great. made me more aware of how a hearing impaired persons feels and hears. \rthe idea that the director sent him away after he got the implants was upsetting. I don't think something like that would really happen.

Compelling characters, concerning a subject that is mostly unknown to standard U.S. audiences, presented in a story that is enthralling.

It was very good, if a little long. I liked the sound design, but the main way into this story is Riz Ahmed's performance. He's an amazing actor and I've never been disappointed when I see one his films. This one rests almost entirely on his shoulders and if you don't buy his Ruben, you don't buy the movie.
