” is a tough sit, all right, though not for the reason I expected: that we would watch — and listen to — Ruben lose his hearing with empathized agony, as if it were happening to us. There’s a little of that. The director, Darius Marder, does innovative things with sound design, creating scrapes and muffles that feel just out of reach, and he has subtitled the entire film so it can be experienced in a theater by both the hearing and deaf communities. All effective, and all good.
Ahmed plays Ruben as a sweet but blunted outsider who confronts his condition the same way he does everything else: with poe-faced blankness. For a short while, he slips in and out of being able to hear things.
Once Lou understands what’s happening to Ruben , she takes him to a small deaf commune in the country overseen by Joe , a Vietnam veteran who lost his hearing during the war and runs the place like a sternly omniscient 12-step Buddhist counselor. One look at Ruben, and Joe knows just what Ruben’s problem is: He hasn’t accepted his deafness, hasn’t embraced it as a higher power.
