    Sound of Metal

    ★★★★½

    A soul-crushing character piece that tackles its subject with depth and precision. Riz Ahmed delivers a career-best performance as Ruben, capturing the layered pain of a man grappling with addiction, identity, and profound change. He fully disappears into the role, embodying the struggle with raw honesty.

    The supporting cast is equally strong, each bringing subtle nuance and humanity to their roles. This isn’t an easy watch, but it’s a deeply moving and empathetic film.

    On rewatch, the film only gets better…funnier,…

Tatum, in particular, delivers a remarkable performance, capturing both the toughness and vulnerability of Addie with a nuance beyond her years.

    Visually, the film is stunning, perfectly evoking the 1930s not just through set design and costuming but in…

    ★★★★

    Both hilarious and heartbreaking, this film is a beautifully crafted story brought to life through expressive animation and lovable characters. Its universal themes resonate on multiple levels, creating a deeply emotional and rewarding experience. The humor is surprisingly adult without ever feeling inappropriate or immature, striking a balance. Its animation style had my eyes glued to the screen. I love to see real stop motion executed so beautifully, and with such attention to detail that there’s a lot to pick…
