The message of stillness is powerful. Riz Ahmed gives a powerful performance as Ruben. Heartfelt and real. A movie that will stay with you.

The first act was definitely the film's strongest - the sound editing and mixing here was unmatched to anything I've seen before.\r\rThe second act, however, slows the pace but thankfully picks back up towards the third act.\r\rStunning cinematography, amazing lead performance by Riz Ahmed, powerful closing scene.

or sounds of deafness, very sensitive discovery of meaning in life and value of any gift after it's lost.

Stunning film. Riz Ahmed powerhouse performance. Beautifully paced and shot. The sound design is some of the year's best. Will be watching again.
