DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?

DORMANT BEAUTY - Carlo Crivelli

"Bellocchio’s movies often equate visual and moral ambiguity. Like 'Vincere,' the last Bellocchio film to get a Stateside release, 'Dormant Beauty' finds the director working with a reduced Eastwoodian palette dominated by thick shadows; at times, only the outline of a character’s face is visible against the blackness of the screen. As the lighting gets dimmer, Bellocchio’s direction becomes more focused, playing off Carlo Crivelli’s emotive neoclassical score to turn close-ups into arias."

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, The Onion AV Club

"Bellocchio modifies his approach slightly for each storyline. The Maria/Roberto and Rossa/Pallido scenes resemble soapy melodrama, while the Divine Mother segments play more like an operatic art-film (not unlike Bellocchio’s excellent 2009 historical drama 'Vincere'), and Senator Beffardi’s plot is rendered with deeper shadows and a more propulsive score, akin to a political thriller. Cinematographer Daniele Cipri and composer Carlo Crivelli have a lot to do with distinguishing the different parts of 'Dormant Beauty,' and editor Francesca Calvelli skillfully interweaves the pieces so that it all feels unified -- even when the movie veers into the odder world of Divine Mother. Bellocchio also connects the characters through his use of actual television reports from 2009, which play almost incessantly on screens in the characters’ homes and environs."

Noel Murray, The Dissolve

"D.p. Daniele Cipri once again proves his mettle, with richly supple camerawork and mature tonalities, while Bellocchio’s regular editor, Francesca Calvelli, effectively handles the intertwining stories. Marco Dentici’s production design is spot-on, from the sauna scenes to the opulent home of the Divine Mother, decorated with more roses than a funeral parlor. Few film composers can deliver sumptuous orchestrations as skillfully as Carlo Crivelli, and fewer helmers know as well as Bellocchio how to use them to further the mood within a scene, rather than to anticipate emotion."

Jay Weissberg, Variety

"Bellocchio’s excellent technical crew lead by director of photography Daniele Cipri (who directed Toni Servillo in the other Italian film in Venice competition, 'It Was the Son') gives the film a dark, rich look echoed in Carlo Crivelli’s moving dramatic score and its magical adaptation of David Bowie’s 'Abdulmajid.'"

Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter

THE ROVER - Antony Partos

"'The Rover' is a bleak, brutal film; at times, its monotony can be draining. Ably aided by the jarring chords designed by composer Antony Partos (not unlike the unsettling work by Jonny Greenwood on 'There Will Be Blood') and cinematography by Natasha Braier that always places our characters in the context of a bleak landscape, Michôd finds a tonal consistency in 'The Rover' that makes its repetition forgivable, and even effective. It doesn’t let up because it shouldn't let up."

Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

"'Not everything has to be about something' says Rey at one juncture, and it’s not too pat to suggest that Michod’s film is kind of about nothing, but it’s really about nothing -- about nothingness and abgenation and a world that pointlessly goes on existing in the absence of compassion or empathy. Accompanied by an eclectic score of drones and electronic pulses interrupted by some incongruous tracks (including a very funny, slightly meta use of 'Don’t hate me cause I’m beautiful' as hummed-along-to by Pattinson) the story Michod and Joel Edgerton co-conceived, all the way back before 'Animal Kingdom' may not quite reach the heights of that crime saga, but it arguably fulfills another important function: it shows Michod can work with other genres and textures, and still make a film that is unmistakably his, and that is how auteurs are made.'"

Jessica Kiang, The Playlist

"Those looking for big action and bombast will inevitably be disappointed, but Michod (who also wrote the script, based on a story he conceived with actor-writer-director Joel Edgerton) strikes an eerie, unsettling tension early on and rarely lets go -- a mood immeasurably enhanced by 'Animal Kingdom' composer Antony Partos’ original score, which compensates for the film’s spare dialogue with an inspired mix of industrial shrieks, tribal drumbeats and wails, and fleeting snatches of melody. The rich soundscape is further enhanced by sound designer Sam Petty’s crisply recorded and mixed effects, which bring every humming electric light, chirping cricket and whirring engine to the fore."

Scott Foundas, Variety

"At least as responsible for giving 'The Rover' its distinctive tone as the unnerving violence, edgy performances, parched settings and Natasha Braier’s superior cinematography (film, not digital, was the medium of choice) is the extraordinary soundtrack, which, in its wild, idiosyncratic weirdness, is probably the most effectively eccentric and radical film score since Jonny Greenwood’s for 'There Will Be Blood.' Composed by Australian Antony Partos (who also scored 'Animal Kingdom'), with heavy contributions from sound designer and additional composer Sam Petty and existing source music, the track moans, cracks and wails with bizarre audible elements that blur the line between music and natural sounds and emanate from instruments both identifiable and not. The effect is both hypnotic and disturbing, pertinent to what’s onscreen and out of nowhere. In all events, it magnifies and enhances the already intense nature of the experience."

Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter

THE SACRAMENT - Tyler Bates

"Even if you were unaware of the genre you'd know that s**t was likely to go down from the earliest moments of 'The Sacrament,' thanks to Tyler Bates' throbbing, dread-fueled Carpenter-esque score. The tension really is beautifully ramped up in these early scenes and gets an audience well prepped to watch carnage unfold around people you've truly come to care about."

Oliver Lyttleton, The Playlist

"For all of Father’s oily pronouncements, our heroes soon start to see the dark side of Eden Parish, all of it telegraphed well ahead of time by Tyler Bates’s boomingly intrusive, John Carpenter-esque score."

Bilge Ebiri, Vulture

"Sound design, as ever with the helmer’s work, is tack-sharp, as is Tyler Bates’ spooky score -- even if it occasionally seems to have crept in from one of West’s more retro efforts."

Guy Lodge, Variety

"But it doesn’t require the disturbing rumble of Tyler Bates’ music underneath the jubilant gospel singing of the concert to detect something sinister in the air. The ominous, pulsating drone of Bates’ music, the increasing agitation of West’s editing, and the raw, video-reporter edge of Eric Robbins’ nervy camerawork all contribute to manipulating the atmosphere into one of engulfing dread in a film that gets under the skin and stays there."

David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

THE SIGNAL - Nima Fakhrara

"The mystery at hand shouldn’t surprise any seasoned sci-fi geek, but Eubank (who also co-wrote the screenplay) substitutes a remarkable visual flair in lieu of traditional suspense. Accompanied by the half-melancholy, half-foreboding strains of Nima Fakhrara’s score, any number of Instagram-worthy flashbacks to happier times are intended to serve as lyrical emotional shorthand."

William Goss, Austin Chronicle

"The emotional deflation felt by these characters is articulated by Thwaites and Cooke with a richness and conviction that's unusual for this sort of genre exercise. And in spite of leaning too hard on dreamily scored flashbacks of Nick running through the woods, so as to hint at the sense of physical freedom the boy no longer feels, the filmmakers abstract the reason for Nick's injury in a way that both cannily shuns sentimentality and ratchets up the maddening sense of existential despair he feels when he wakes up inside a subterranean medical facility and is prodded and questioned by men in hazmat suits."

Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine

22 JUMP STREET - Mark Mothersbaugh

"Everyone seems to be dancing along the same anarchic wavelength: stars, directors, screenwriters Michael Bacall, Oren Uziel, and Rodney Rothman, even composer Mark Mothersbaugh, whose score wryly channels ’80s thwomp and action-movie power chords."

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
