DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
AMERICAN SYMPHONY - Jon Batiste
"But his goal isn’t just to remain sane, it’s to create a piece of work that takes different strains of American music and puts them on the same stage in what is traditionally a classical setting. He starts by writing 40 minutes of music on his own, then brings in other musicians to improvise and make their own contributions to what becomes an expansive, complicated and contradictory piece of music. The film’s homestretch takes us to Carnegie Hall, with Jaouad in attendance in what she says is her first time out of the house or hospital in more than a year. The musicians weather a brief onstage power outage, with Batiste delivering an unamplified piano solo that becomes a summation of his and his wife’s entire journey. And then the power comes back on, the classical virtuosos and jazz cats and Native American drummers and soulful vocalists step up and the ensemble comes together on a work that, in the truncated form that we see on screen, seems to be both a truly American symphony and a portrait of one particular American life."
Steve Pond, The Wrap
"What we do get of his music is only, fittingly, a motif: A melody, a simple theme that even the tinniest ear can hold onto and a musical line that can be turned into a narrative, evolving from a hum and rhythm pounded out on a sofa, to a piano line, to a fully orchestrated piece. We never learn the titles of 'American Symphony''s movements ('Capitalism,' 'Integrity,' 'Globalism' and 'Majesty') or see alluded-to conversations between Batiste and the Indigenous performers who join his ensemble. We get a catchy little riff, inherently reductive of the daunting achievement that dominates the runtime. The quality and duration of access, ranging from hospital beds to the very stage of Carnegie Hall, implies an insight into his creative process and intentions that we never receive. Batiste is a fascinating subject, coming from such a legendary New Orleans jazz family that HBO’s 'Treme' named Wendell Pierce’s trombone-toting protagonist Antoine Batiste. From Oscar-nominated scores ('Soul') to a rousing late-night gig ('The Late Show with Stephen Colbert') to Grammy after Grammy after Grammy, he’s already at the highest levels of musical achievement -- and he’s not even 40. His expansive ambitions for 'American Symphony' owe plenty to fellow New Orleanian Wynton Marsalis, who wrote a history-reckoning jazz composition that became the first to ever win a Pulitzer. Despite ostensibly riding alongside Batiste throughout his journey, we never really know what he’s thinking about his music beyond the sound bites."
Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine
CANDY CANE LANE - Marcus Miller
"But it also has a deadening clockwork quality. There’s the usual heavy-footed deployment of the 'comedy! comedy!' score to cue us to laugh or have feelings. The only thing more numerous than the Christmas references (the family members’ names are Carol, Holly, Joy and Nick) are clichés, down to a Tarantino slo-mo walk for no reason. There’s a musical interlude shoehorned in and gag payoffs that viewers will see coming from miles off."
Michael Ordona, Los Angeles Times
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SHERE HITE - Lisbeth Scott
"It’s an example of editor Eileen Meyer’s imaginative cutting style that extends to the sound design: Dreamily overlapping fragments of Hite’s writing, melodically narrated by Dakota Johnson, interlock with Lisbeth Scott’s score and the piano concertos and disco cuts on the soundtrack. Where other archive-reliant bio-docs can feel purely functional in form, 'Crip Camp' director Newnham crafts “Disappearance” like carefully stitched embroidery."
Jessica Kiang, Variety
FERRARI - Daniel Pemberton
"From the gorgeous cinematography by Erik Messerschmidt, the mesmerizing Daniel Pemberton score, a towering performance by Cruz, and Martin’s screenplay that reflects as much on Enzo’s insular battles as well as his public ones in equal measure, 'Ferrari' is one of Mann’s best film [sic] in years. 'Ferrari' isn’t just an impactful look at grief, it’s also Mann having a hell of a lot of fun. 'Ferrari' constantly shows us the highs and lows of every day, and how we must take the good with the band, and Mann does that by making this both heartbreaking and delightful in equal measure. In the end, Mann gives us a film that feels like a terrible joy."
Ross Bonaime, Collider
"Of course, as with all Mann films, the craft here is simply impeccable. Cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt had a stunning year with his sharp work in 'The Killer' and the subtle tension he brings here avoids being flashy in ways that keep the film both grounded and always moving. The editing by master Pietro Scalia ('JFK,' 'Black Hawk Down') really holds a lot of this film together as it slides effortlessly from scenes of domestic conflict to anticipation for the pending race known as the Mille Miglia. Daniel Pemberton did two great scores this year -- this one and 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.' Just as everyone wanted to work with the actual Ferrari, Michael Mann attracts top talent across the board, and they jointly elevate 'Ferrari' in ways that lead to one of the most well-made films of the year."
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"Like Ferrari himself, the technical craftsmanship earns high marks. Erik Messerschmidt takes a painterly approach to capturing the three drastically different worlds Enzo inhabits. He tailors each for a nuanced mood -- whether we’re in the soothing sanctuary of the Lardi home, between the walls of the dank and oppressive Ferrari chambers, or feeling the freedom of the airy race track. This all works in chorus with Maria Djurkovic’s perfect production design, with its distinct color palettes enhancing character texture, and Daniel Pemberton’s score, which is both symphonic and percussive, occasionally aided by compositions by Lisa Gerrard and Pieter Bourke."
Courtney Howard, The Onion AV Club
"The setup is a classically Mann work-and-family construct, and much of it is distilled into that earlier scene with Enzo, Piero and the blueprints. Here, far removed from the clamor and frenzy of the racetrack, a man shows his son the ropes while the boy’s mother looks lovingly on from the sidelines. In these moments, it’s hard not to flash back on other Mann thrillers (especially 'Thief' and 'Heat'), with their close-up scrutiny of men at work and their pointed juxtaposition of personal and professional spaces. It’s also hard not to contrast this sweet domestic idyll, bathed in sunlight and backed by Daniel Pemberton’s moving score, with the impenetrable walls of darkness at Enzo and Laura’s house in Modena, where their once-happy marriage hangs by a slender if surprisingly resilient thread."
Justin Chang, Variety
I.S.S. - Anne Nikitin
"The film’s aesthetics fare better than the drama on display. Camerawork simulating zero gravity looks and feels immersive. Anne Nikitin’s score does a lot of the heavy lifting delivering moody atmosphere to the picture. Her compositions, utilizing prickly symphonic strings and dark, foreboding instruments, perfectly underscore threats, sorrow, and menace. Cinematographer Nick Remy Matthews pulls hints of inspiration from 'Alien''s lighting cues. Visual effects are gorgeously styled and clean-lined, providing a backdrop filled with brutality and beauty."
Courtney Howard, The Onion AV Club
"But the movie has all the energy of a dry classroom lecture. The performances are dialed back almost to monotone level, the score does nothing to goose up the tension, and even the inevitable chase sequence seems slow and distracted. No one here is selling the idea that life or death is on the line. Even 'Stowaway,' the 2021 Anna Kendrick-led sci-fi thriller that similarly delivers its questions about how to choose sacrificial victims in a hushed, respectful whisper, had more energy than this."
Tasha Robinson, Polygon
"What follows is consistently watchable and sometimes tense but, despite some twists, largely unsurprising. After the introductions -- Chris Messina plays the third American, Gordon -- and the assorted personalities and relationships have been sketched in, the movie gets down to genre business with some worrisome red-orange flashes on Earth. Communication failures ensue, as do the progressively more fretful faces and soundtrack music. The two crews close ranks, with the Americans retreating to one corner to sneak worried looks at the similarly alarmed Russians, who include Weronika (Masha Mashkova) and Nicholai (Costa Ronin)."
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
THE SETTLERS - Harry Allouche
"Simone D'Arcangelo's cinematography is crucial in establishing this cruel environment. He films the stunning landscape with a sense of awe but also portent. The sunset light seems to burn into the horses' sides, their short hairs glinting with gold. Things are too lit up by that close sun to even look at directly. This is not 'pretty' beauty. It's awful, because a genocide is going on in all that beauty. Harry Allouche's score is massive and ominous, adding weight and urgency to the images. It's a big score, the kind you don't really hear anymore, and it's a huge contribution."
Sheila O'Malley, RogerEbert.com
"Windblown landscapes, gorgeous in their untouched harshness, serve as the stage for the British army man leading the vile expedition, Alexander MacLenan (Mark Stanley), to assert his dubious dominance. Stanley expresses MacLenan’s burning desire to earn respect as postured bravado in a red uniform tarnished by the elements. Traveling on horseback, the three outsiders march to Harry Allouche’s alluring score, which sounds like a cautious invitation to the unknown, as if daring them to keep forward at their own peril."
Carlos Aguilar, The Playlist
"Haberle and cinematographer Simone D’Arcangelo present stark imagery in their pristinely cropped wide shots of placid countrysides, these seemingly scenic vistas given a jittery edge from the sharp strings of Harry Allouche’s score. 'The Settlers' is very clearly a Western, defined by a methodical pace; the slow trek across the land luxuriates in plentiful shots of nature. But unlike the clean digital look that accompanies many modern spins on the genre, a noticeable grain and faded color grading make it seem as though we’re viewing long-abandoned film stock not meant to be seen."
Elijah Gonzalez, Paste Magazine
"For much of its opening and middle sections, 'The Settlers' functions like a three-handed western where the clashing personalities of Bill and the lieutenant -- who we find out is, in fact, a private -- come to a head while Segundo silently looks on. Divided into chapters with headings, and backed by a score from Harry Allouche with some echoes of Ennio Morricone, the film can feel a bit gimmicky when it leans too hard into the trappings of the genre, wearing its postmodernism all too prominently on its sleeve."
Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
