Sound of Metal is one of my favorites, so it’s clear why Mogul Mowgli has been on my watchlist for a while. I love stories that explore music and loss through a grounded emotional lens. I didn’t love this per se, but I did tear up, maybe realizing how important movies like this are for me as someone studying film and music business while living with a (much less serious) chronic condition.
The story feels a bit all over the place, taking a more fragmented and surreal approach. The horror immigrant figure aspect doesn’t work for me, but the health and rap struggles I enjoy and would’ve liked to see more of. This could’ve been so much better, although I respect how personal it feels.
