Amazon this week (November 29-December 5) plans to add 70 new TV shows and movies to its Prime streaming lineup, including one Amazon original.
The new titles will include Sound of Metal, an Amazon original movie starring Riz Ahmed (The Night Of, Nightcrawler) as a heavy metal drummer who must balance his lost of hearing (and sanity) against his desire for fame and fortune.
Rottentomatoes.com, which tracks critical reviews, gives Sound of Metal a score of 96 out of a possible 100, based on 109 reviews.
“An evocative look at the experiences of the deaf community, Sound of Metal is brought to life by Riz Ahmed’s passionate performance,” the site states, summarizing the reviews.
Also notable this week: Season one of two popular Showtime dramas, The Affair and Ray Donovan.
Here is the complete list of new titles coming this week to Amazon Prime:
