DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
ALICE - Common, Patrick Warren, Karriem Riggins, Isaiah Sharkey, Burniss Travis
"Alice believes there’s a better world, a kinder world, waiting for her beyond the forest of leaning, wispy oak trees that surrounds the plantation. The audience, unfortunately, is made to wait for what feels like an interminable amount of time before she attempts an escape. In the meantime, a woozy, bluesy score infused with otherworldly horns wafts over the southern air. The enslaved have all heard stories of slave catchers, which effectively keeps their desires to run at bay. But another legend says that Joseph’s grandfather, years ago, saw a man, with the ability to create fire from his hand, fall from the sky. Alice also hears an anachronistic sound -- though she doesn’t know what it is — emanating from the room of Paul’s sullen son: a radio searching for a station."
Robert Daniels, The Playlist
"Through it all, there’s a standout score from five composers -- Common, Patrick Warren, Karriem Riggins, Isaiah Sharkey, and Burniss Travis -- who together assemble an eclectic mix of trills and rumbles and strings that pluck and fret, without worrying whether the end result is harmonious. The music is insistently alive, and it declares Alice’s right to exist even when she can’t speak on her own behalf."
Amy Nicholson, Variety
MASTER - Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe
"By way of Hall’s potent, internal performance (the actress has rarely been better) and Diallo sharpening the edges of her dense, multidimensional script to interrogate race through horror, rather than the scares being the horror itself, 'Master' finds its footing again. A testament to this filmmaker’s shrewd craftsmanship: The final twenty minutes, recalling the 'The Shining,' loops in Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe’s ghoulish score, and unpacks so many secrets involving colorism, passing, white paternalism, and so forth, that you wonder how Diallo kept it all together without every frame crumbling in her hands. It’s simply amazing. Detailed and deliberate, assertive but rarely obvious, Diallo’s 'Master' is a towering, inventive shot in the arm for Black horror."
Robert Daniels, IndieWire
"Within the film’s surprisingly complex setup, the outright horror of the witch haunting is the bluntest instrument. It’s used to ratchet up the sense of danger as Jasmine burrows deeper into hostile territory, is ostracized by her classmates, and researches the earlier student death in her room. Honestly, the haunting doesn’t always mesh with the real social horrors she faces. But it does allow Hornsby to frame some strikingly creepy shots, breaking up her austere, autumnal compositions with walls of red and slashes of black, embedded in Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe’s ominous, droning score. Elsewhere, Diallo and Hornsby create layered, metaphorical images that are subtler but no less lingering, like the shadow of a janitor mopping the floor behind Gail and Jasmine as they delicately discuss her complaint against Liv. These Black women are still cleaning up the mess, generations after the maid whose memory haunts Gail’s house."
Oli Welsh, Polygon
"The dark, evocative cinematography from Charlotte Hornsby ('Madeline’s Madeline,' 'Hair Wolf') magnifies the absolutely spectral shadows that seem to be pervasive amongst the college’s cold brick buildings. While the spooky percussion-laden score by Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe ('Candyman') swirls as it envelopes the atmosphere, mirroring the psychological breakdown these women are headed towards."
Marya E. Gates. The Playlist
"Six minutes into Mariama Diallo’s 'Master,' before anything has even slightly gone bump in the night, the film is as scary as it is going to get. But it’s not so much fear of as fear for: Hopeful, excited freshman Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee) is starting the fall semester as one of the only Black students at Ancaster College, a fictional bastion of white, Ivy League privilege. And she’s so sympathetically drawn by Diallo (whose own Yale experiences inform the story) and so appealingly played by Renee that instantly, given the gently ominous cues of camera and score, we know to be scared for her. The exact nature of what lies in store is almost immaterial; the dimming of her bright, eager, take-on-the-world optimism is a looming tragedy in itself."
Jessica Kiang, Los Angeles Times
"The filmmaker establishes Ancaster’s ghostly atmosphere early on, with the arrival of eager, accomplished freshman Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee, memorably haunted and steadfast). Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe’s chilling score accompanies her when she finds out upon check-in that she’s got 'the room.' Uh-oh! But before we can find out why her dorm is labeled with such a cagey, 'Shining'-style warning, Jasmine meets her roommate Amelia (the terrific Talia Ryder, of 'Never Rarely Sometimes Always'), with whom she won’t exactly see eye-to-eye."
Tomris Laffly, Variety
MORBIUS - Jon Ekstrand
"Watching Morbius isn't about watching a bad film, or even a boring one. It just feels consistently incomplete. The script by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama has all the flaws of their earlier muted blockbusters like 'Dracula Untold' and 'Gods of Egypt:' expositional, bland, designed to move the story along with no flourishes. It's like director Daniel Espinosa (responsible for the oddly underrated alien horror 'Life') took their first draft and just filmed that, with all the punch-up and vague plotting that gets fixed in rewrites left undone. If that's what happened, it would not be the worst decision Espinosa makes here. So many choices, from longtime collaborator Jon Ekstrand's clashing keyboard-and-strings score to individual shot compositions to the way Morbius leaves a trail of misty vampire dandruff floating in the air, just seem halfhearted. They're not terrible, but they're also not interesting."
Richard Whittaker, The Austin Chronicle
"Morbius’ first attack on the mercenaries, for example, unfolds like he’s the xenomorph in a better-lit, earthbound version of the Nostromo and/or LV-426, decimating space truckers and automatic-weapon-wielding Marines with swift brutality. A later fight between Morbius and Lucien, meanwhile, conjures the tube chase from 'An American Werewolf In London,' but with less style and more computer-generated imagery. One supposes there are only so many locations that filmmakers can use for action scenes that haven’t already been shot in some iconic fashion, but it takes little imagination to make those cinematic connections while they’re happening. Moreover, Jon Ekstrand’s score functions in precisely the kind of same-y, nondescript way that so much film and TV music seems to these days. The few moments that stand out do so because they sound so similar to Hans Zimmer’s wall-of-sound work on Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, especially when they’re accompanying a scene where, say, a man is looking skyward as a swarm of bats flutter around him in obedience."
Todd Gilchrist, The Onion AV Club
"This sounds dark and gritty, and Oliver Wood’s murky cinematography and Jon Ekstrand’s 'Dark Knight' lite score sure seem to want viewers to associate it with other, much better bat-adjacent joints, but the film is too disjointed to feel much like, well, anything. Mostly, the film occupies a strange no-mans-land of the sprawling Spider-Verse, not charming like the 'Spider-Man' films, not funny like the 'Venom' films, and certainly not technically impressive like the animated 'Into the Spider-Verse.'"
Kate Erbland, IndieWire
"Smith’s dynamism painfully underlines the lack of imagination and energy elsewhere in the film. Plainly shot, with a score (and a scene or two) that shamelessly ape 'Batman Begins,' 'Morbius' comes across as algorithmically calibrated to enter the blockbuster market as smoothly as possible. Its action is unimaginative, complete with exhausting slow-mo pauses. Its violence is toned down and defanged, even though it’s about, y’know, vampires. In spite of direction from Daniel Espinosa, who previously made 2017’s surprisingly creepy 'Life,' 'Morbius' does not convey any real atmosphere. If Instagram had a “blockbuster” filter, this film would use it the whole time."
Joshua Rivera, Polygon
“Morbius” isn’t even a debacle. It’s a little over 90 minutes long if you don’t count the credits (which include what has to be the worst closing teaser I’ve ever seen in a Marvel movie -- it ends with the word 'Intriguing,' dangled as if Vincent Price had uttered it), and for all the overwrought push of Jon Ekstrand’s score, the film is nothing more than a flimsy time-killer, an early-April placeholder of a movie."
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"While DP Oliver Wood shoots most of the action with the lugubrious palette that’s become standard for this end of the Marvel spectrum, he makes atmospheric use of New York’s subways and underground spaces in several scenes. The thundering score by Jon Ekstrand, with its pounding percussion elements, also pumps up the energy, even as the plot slides into repetitive grooves."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
NATIONAL CHAMPIONS - Jonathan Sanford
"Waugh and Mervis lay these arguments out via a series of big speeches, mostly filmed in strangely dim hotel meeting spaces, overlooking the New Orleans Superdome. 'National Champions' is based on a Mervis play, and the filmmakers haven’t done a lot to open it up for the screen. The visually drab locations, the muted Jonathan Sanford score, and the sparse plot -- which primarily consists of high-powered NCAA officials threatening LeMarcus and him sticking to his guns -- all grow tedious quickly."
Noel Murray, The Onion AV Club
"Working from a smart script by Adam Mervis ('21 Bridges'), director Ric Roman Waugh manages -- with the invaluable assistance of Khalid Mohtaseb’s fluid cinematography, Gabriel Fleming’s nimble editing, and Jonathan Sanford’s propulsive musical score -- to give what is basically a string of scenes involving people talking in rooms (and on rooftops) the same sense of propulsive narrative drive he brought to his thrillers 'Snitch' and 'Angel Has Fallen.'"
