Sound of Metal is heading to UK cinemas

Vertigo Releasing has sent over the new UK trailer and poster for the Academy Award® nominated and BAFTA winning Sound of Metal, in UK cinemas from 17th May, with Irish cinemas following at a later date.

Ruben (Riz Ahmed) and Lou (Olivia Cooke) live together, traveling gig to gig playing their loud, frenzied music. Suddenly Ruben, a passionate drummer, loses his hearing and his world is upended, causing him to struggle with depression and be tempted by past addictions.

Sarah Louise Dean reviewed the film and said it was “a compelling journeyman movie with meaningful characters and a believable story lifted by a truly unique auditory experience.”

A film by Darius Marder starring Riz Ahmed (The Night Of, Star Wars: Rogue One, The Sisters Brothers) and Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One, Thoroughbreds, Me, Earl and the Dying Girl), and produced by Bert Hamelinck and Sacha Ben Harroche from Caviar (The Rider).
