ICYMI: Best films of the year so far, from Sound Of Metal to In The Heights
Clockwise from left: In the Heights, Supernova, and Luca.
A punk drummer has a reckoning when he loses his hearing in first-time director Darius Marder’s remarkably inventive and moving debut. Riz Ahmed is outstanding as Ruben, a recovering addict forced to assess his sense of place when faced with a life-altering disability. Marder uses sound to immerse us in Ruben’s frightening new world, while Olivia Cooke and Paul Raci provide fine support. (Amazon Prime)
