A movie that it is in the middle. The story seems like is not getting anywhere, the plot had a lazy solution, the whole project seemed pretentious sometimes. For an example, how would you shot a scene with rain? Water, right? Someone thought it would be nice to give CGI a chance and turns out that the moment you’re getting involved with the protagonist you’re distracted by an unforgivable mistake: if it’s raining why is she not getting wet?

Ruben, a focused Drummer is getting deaf and his life begins spiraling down. What could come out of a premise such as simple as that? In the right hands - which is the case - literally a superb drama. Riz Ahmed embodied all his character’s dilemmas, doubts, fears and emotions.
The sound editing is definitely another character very much alive in this touching, sad and immersive tale about the inevitable decrease in the human condition and the acceptance of the truth.
A group of young people meet in an isolated rural area. The intention is to film quality porn, with an artistic vision that overcomes the superficiality of the genre, giving it modern vigor and that is remarkable.

The characters are compelling and interesting, they have their issues and layers, there’s conflict, especially involving morality.…
A frenetic movie. Disruptive. Superb. The multiverse theme has never been so exemplary well-explored before. Mesmerising. Mind blowing.
Considering the complexity that the project's pace demands, it's almost unbelievable that the script has turned into sequences that are the result of an excellent imaginative exercise close to the indescribable.
What a delight it is to be able to witness what A24 has done in the name of artistic freedom and even through the history of cinema, already. Fasten your seat bells; this one is something you’ve never seen before.
