The History of Sound (out Dec 18) is a Brokeback Mountain-style tale set in the early 20th Century. Liked the first half of the movie with the character intros and the exploration of early sound recording but it weakens in the second half when the two leads, played by Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, are separated. Grade: B.
