DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
THE AVIARY - Zac Clark
"While the drama mostly stays insular, the filmmakers give it a grander scope in their imagery. They exercise gorgeous visual dexterity, allowing aesthetic flourishes to complement their themes. Mind-melting nightmare sequences, featuring flashing lights, disarming static shots and unsettling jump cuts, visually contextualize their characters’ tormented, fractured psyches. Cinematographer Elie Smolkin, editor David Bilow, and the sound design team conduct an electrifying charge during these character-driven and destabilizing segments. Zac Clark’s score plays like a creepy lullaby, lulling us into a false sense of safety."
Courtney Howard, The Onion AV Club
"There’s a cool DIY quality about 'The Aviary,' which eschews CGI and other FX to convey Jillian and Blair’s deteriorating (or is it simply 'deteriorated'?) state of mind. For example, late in the movie, a two-shot frames the talking women as they walk in the midday heat when the camera unexpectedly pans over to Jillian, only to quickly swing back to Blair’s position and reveal Seth as the other conversant, with the trick repeated in vice-versa fashion. It’s a deceptively simple technique, but one with unsettling effect. Ackerman and Izzo hold their own in what is essentially a two-character film, though their portrayals seem interchangeable, likely because the programmed women they play have little sense of individuality. But they and the movie are eventually undermined by an ever-exhausting concept that might have worked better as an hourlong episode in an anthology series. With a little fine-tuning, the ending would have packed a bigger wallop in a truncated version eliminating a coda that only serves to explain the title. But regardless of the length or format, you could easily do without Zac Clark’s monotonic humming score, which annoys more than it communicates tension or dread. It’s the aural equivalent of a gnat buzzing in your ear. Shoo!"
Steve Davis, The Austin Chronicle
EMILY THE CRIMINAL - Nathan Halpern
"Turns out, Youcef and his cousin Khalil’s (Jonathan Avigdori) operation is pretty sophisticated, and Emily has a knack. She impresses Youcef on her first gig enough to ask her back for a bigger one the next day; she proves her mettle in heart-pounding fashion. The film has drawn early comparisons to 'Drive,' and while the downtown LA setting and pulsating score from Nathan Halpern fit, Ford and Plaza offer something a bit trickier. It’s also more satisfying, blending style with a timely message about the way capitalism beats down people just looking to make some honest cash, the way a criminal past can mark someone for life, the way it’s impossible to move past certain circumstances."
Kate Erbland, IndieWire
"But whatever Emily may represent sociologically, she is first and foremost a figure of sustained and highly specific dramatic interest. One of the pleasures of Plaza’s performance is the way she shows us a person working out her fight-or-flight instincts in real time, and in ever more dangerous transactional situations. We see Emily’s caution and recklessness duke it out when she’s confronted by a suspicious car dealer or, in an especially harrowing episode, a knife-wielding robber. We also savor her growing satisfaction when, with Youcef’s help, she launches her own racket, printing the credit cards, picking up the merchandise and arranging the resales herself. All this takes place on an array of almost palpably unlovely Los Angeles locations, filmed here with a restless run-and-gun immediacy. (Ford’s skilled collaborators include Jeff Bierman, who handled the movie’s handheld cinematography, and Nathan Halpern, who composed the steadily pulsing score.)"
Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
"But even when violence ensues at Emily’s second job, the cash she earns makes it worth the risk. In fact, she’s hooked -- on the money, perhaps on the danger, and eventually on Youcef himself. Thanks to the defiant ferocity of Plaza’s performance, plus Nathan Halpern’s tense music throbbing through each increasingly precarious transaction, we’re rooting for Emily to exploit capitalism’s loopholes. There’s a sick thrill in seeing someone cheat the system and say things like, 'Motherf*ckers will keep taking from you and taking from you until you make the goddamn rules yourself.' After all, no one gets hurt from credit card fraud."
Jack Smart, The Onion AV Club
"Emily and Youcef are united in that they’re both ambitious young people with small scale goals. Neither is out to rule the L.A. crime syndicate; they just want enough cash to feel free. Here, people like them without good options live lives that are already behind invisible bars. To Ford, choosing crime can be suspenseful -- when things get tense, Nathan Halpern’s music takes on the tempo of a nervous heartbeat -- but it’s not necessarily wrong if the audience can be convinced that Emily is simply defending her own right to survive."
Amy Nicholson, Variety
FATHER OF THE BRIDE - Terence Blanchard
"Also enriching the picture is the sisterly bond between Cora and Sofia, two inspiring young women who become a little closer to one another as they grow to appreciate and enable each other’s differences. The end result of all this is a little 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' and a little 'Crazy Rich Asians' in spirit; an opulent package elevated by costume designer Caroline Eselin Schaefer’s lavish work -- Sofia’s midriff-baring suits are especially stunning -- composer Terence Blanchard’s rich score of jazzy rhythms and cinematographer Igor Jadue-Lillo’s committed lens that advances the film’s stormy finale through dizzyingly mazy, single-take camerawork."
Tomris Laffly, The Onion AV Club
"Stylistically, what stands out is how intently Alazraki and cinematographer Igor Jadue-Lillo ('Four Good Days') make sure that their sun-dappled Miami locations get appreciated on screen, even if at times excessively. Postcard-ready vistas of Calle Ocho and Ocean Drive parade across the screen to Terence Blanchard’s jazzy score. That nurtured sense of place ties to the narrative in the third act, when the city’s propensity for rough weather coming from the Caribbean adds drama."
Carlos Aguilar, The Wrap
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE - Stephen Rennicks
"The hotel room set partly recalls 'The Father' and 'The Souvenir Part II,' simultaneously naturalistic and -- one senses movie magic at work -- not at all claustrophobic. It’s an intimately scaled film that still demands to be seen on the big screen; never once does it leave the impression that it would be best suited for a streaming platform. Hyde’s refined and attentive direction, Bryan Manson’s crystal clear cinematography, and Stephen Rennicks’ sparkling score have done wonders cultivating the sensual tone and texture."
Martin Tsai, The Wrap
"Thompson’s neurotic is alternately sympathetic and aggravating. Her Nancy tips over into comedy -- there’s a negligee gag that’s played for an easy laugh -- and the score can get overly playful, as though it, too, is anxious to put the audience at ease. Yet, Nancy’s lust is never the joke. Thompson commits to revealing the full woman, quite literally...Once Leo enters the hotel, the film never leaves. We become hyper-aware of the sound of socks on carpet and hands rustling over shirt collars and hair. Leo and Nancy’s hotel room begins to feel like sacred ground. (Composer Stephen Rennicks isn’t above adding music that harkens to a religious choir). 'There are nuns out there with more sexual experience than me,' Nancy quips. Yes, but here, pleasure is both sacred and practical, a wobbly balance that seduces the audience, too."
Amy Nicholson, Variety
THE LEGEND OF MOLLY JOHNSON - Salliana Seven Campbell
"For the first half of the film, it plays like a classic Western, with a cast of recognizable archetypes: the 'good' cop and bumbling sidekick, the misunderstood fugitive, the spunky young wife. One exception is the well-drawn Molly herself, played subtly and with heartbreaking emotional control by director Leah Purcell. Unfortunately, the story drags for the first half of the film, and the downright cheesy score and ending song disrupt scenes that could have carried the emotional weight better on their own."
Lina Fisher, The Austin Chronicle
"On the craft side, she gets valuable support from the dramatic visuals of cinematographer Mark Wareham and the flavorful if overused score for strings and piano by Salliana Seven Campbell. Purcell deserves credit for the complexity of this multilayered story, but her directing experience has mainly been on stage and in episodic television, and the sweep for which she’s aiming remains out of her reach. Moments in which the spirit of Molly’s mother appears, her hair billowing in the wind like she’s a refugee from an ’80s Russell Mulcahy music video, are particularly ill-considered."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
VENGEANCE - Finneas O'Connell
"Still, there are bits and pieces of 'Vengeance' that show Novak’s talents as both a writer and a director, and it’s easy to see how this could’ve been a stellar debut from Novak. When he hits one of those platitudes, and it works, it really works. Novak and cinematographer Lyn Moncrief makes these sprawling areas of Texas gorgeous to look at, and the music by Finneas O’Connell plays well with the tension of the story. There’s promise, but 'Vengeance' at times feels like a West Texas version of 'Under the Silver Lake,' but without the focus and care. Unfortunately, Ben’s editor was right, Vengeance is more a theory than a story."
Ross Bonaime, Collider
