What are filmakers ( especially americans ) smoking these days ? almost every 2020 film is just a chore to sit through, Sound of Metal, with a great performance at the centre, is simply a joyless, academic character study, in a different time it could've been something cinematic, a metaphor, with style, passion behind the camera, think about character studies from the 70s/80s like Straight Time or Scarecrow, this is so earnest, almost a rejection of cinema as an art form, same goes for critics favorites as Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Minari, even First Cow, and then you have the directors not getting funding for their projects... this is the reason why.
