0:00.0	When it's focused on characters, emotions and ideology, this powerful drama with great
0:27.7	performances is easily overcomes its few flaws to the drama of enormous empathy and
0:32.5	harpory. That review from Jeffrey M. Anderson, Common Sense Media, our featured review,
0:38.3	I'll get this other way right now. It's the best movie I've seen so far in 2020. It's called
0:43.6	Sound of Metal. It's from director Darius Martyr and it stars Riz Ahmed in the best performance
0:49.7	I've seen this year and I hope it will be an Oscar nominated performance. There's obviously
0:53.7	lots of competition. Chadwick Boseman right now is a lead contender for Best Actor for Ma Rainey's
0:59.2	Black Bottom. That's coming out later this month on Netflix. Anthony Hopkins, Big Time Oscar

1:52.7	documentary about Pauline Kale, the legendary film critic that came a two years ago. And then
1:56.7	for the love of movies, the story of American film criticism. Great documentary from like 2009.
