As a seasoned gamer who has navigated through countless cinematic universes, I can confidently say that Riz Ahmed’s masterpiece, “Sound of Metal,” is a film that truly resonates beyond the silver screen. This gripping tale of Ruben Stone, a heavy metal drummer grappling with hearing loss and impending Deafness, is more than just a movie – it’s an emotional rollercoaster that leaves you contemplating life, identity, and resilience.

Riz Ahmed’s best movie (sorry Venom) Sound of Metal is airing on UK TV this evening (December 5).

The movie titled “Sound of Metal” garnered significant praise when it was first released a couple of years back, eventually taking home two Oscars in the categories of Best Sound and Best Film Editing.

In addition to Ahmed, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ruben Stone, the film also features Olivia Cooke from “House of the Dragon,” Paul Raci known for “Sing Sing,” and Lauren Ridloff, a star from “The Walking Dead.

The movie is directed and jointly written by Darius Marder, collaborating with his brother Abraham Marder on the script.
