It is a great pleasure to be engrossed in a film, while not knowing where it is going, will go.
Riz Ahmed is incredible, and the film’s deep explorations of identity, “disability,” community, loss, and survival are powerfully moving. Haunting and profound.
The sound engineering and sound-craft of the film are fascinating. The viewer is immersed in Ruben’s world in a way that is both devastating and poetic.
