DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
THE LINE - Daniel Rossen
"'The Line,' the feature debut of writer-director Ethan Berger, won’t tell you anything you likely don’t already know about modern fraternity life. In fact, it spends its 100 minutes dutifully beating that drum (alongside Daniel Rossen’s percussive, cheeky score), offering a crisp 'The Social Network'-y drama about the predatory and stifling Greek culture that rapidly twists its young pledges into booze-and-coke-riddled miscreants. And yet, for all its comparative lack of insight, there’s something intriguing about the ride, due chiefly to a pair of fascinating lead performances and a fatalistic sense of humor."
Clint Worthington, RogerEbert.com
LOOK BACK - haruka nakamura
"From that friendship blossoms a bountiful collaboration, as the girls join powers and quickly become an award-winning duo. Always drawing away in one of their bedrooms or racing to the nearest convenience store in order to see their work on the shelves, the inseparable besties sprint hand-in-hand through the years at the speed of a montage, Ayamu always looking back at the ecstatic Kyomoto behind her as they both run so fast that all of the moments they share together immediately blur into memories. Rather than pad out the skeletal nature of Fujimoto’s text, Oshiyama preserves -- even heightens -- the source material’s emphasis on emotions over plot, the director rightly entrusting the details to his own artistry, and that of his collaborators (Haruka Nakamura’s soaring, sentimentally instructive score is so instrumental to the basic shape of this movie that she deserves a co-writing credit)."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"While there is an understated yet undeniable craftsmanship in Fujimoto’s manga about making manga, movement elevates 'Look Back.' Color (Maya Kusumoto) and sound (Eriko Kimura) carry powerful tonal and temporal shifts across the film’s 58-minute runtime, while haruka nakamura delivers a nostalgic score of muted piano and soprano strings that captures dissatisfaction and loss. Oshiyama himself takes the credits of writer, director, storyboarder, character designer, animation director and key animator."
Autumn Wright, Paste Magazine
"The relationship between these flawed characters, a messy pairing defined by a mutual obsession, is the heart of 'Look Back.' Fujino is a classic Fujimoto protagonist in that, at first, she very much sucks, and even as she gets older, she doesn’t entirely outgrow her selfish impulses. Meanwhile, Kyomoto has intense social anxiety that makes it hard for her to connect with others, making her dependent on her friend. But they’re united by something that no one else seems to understand: spending an ungodly amount of time crafting comics. 'Look Back''s brief 57-minute runtime doesn’t seem like it would leave enough space to articulate their relationship and shared preoccupation, but carefully framed montages and time-skips set to haruka nakamura’s bittersweet score fill out hours spent with ink-stained hands, culminating in a few fleeting moments of joy before things take a hard turn."
Elijah Gonzalez, AV Club
"If there’s a complaint to be made about 'Look Back,' it’s that there’s not enough of it: Adapted from 'Chainsaw Man' creator Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot manga of the same name, the story it tells is purposefully contained. The film comes in just under an hour, and that’s with multiple time-passing montages keyed to Haruka Nakamura’s sensitive, minimalist score. (I have no idea how the lyrics translate for closing composition 'Light Song,' sung in Japanese by Urara, but emotionally the thing is an absolute wrecking ball.) The compact running time doesn’t mean 'Look Back' feels incomplete, necessarily (though I did find one of the time jumps disorienting, as Oshiyama thrusts the viewer into a dramatic situation before we’ve bonded with the now-college-aged versions of the characters). Rather, the missing bits and feeling of time whirring by fast re-creates how we look back on our pasts -- in static photos and sense memories of the most potent moments. The heady buzz of creation. The stillness of grief. The heart-expanding-five-times-its-size joy of a perfect day with a friend. It’s all there. I just wanted more of it."
Kimberley Jones, The Austin Chronicle
RUMOURS - Kristian Eidnes Andersen
"Maddin gained renown at the start of his career for his layered and witty pastiches of silent film. He’s a mix-master of old-school melodrama and German expressionism, and 'Rumours' similarly indulges in playful nods to the cinematic past. There’s a sick, pink, B-movie drive-in glow to much of the picture. When the Canadian and U.K. prime ministers (the latter played by Nikki Amuka-Bird) briefly discuss an old love affair, the music swells with saxy, bluesy longing. When Canada later relates, with histrionic anguish, the profoundly tiresome details of the 'carried interest scandal' that has doomed his political future, a horror movie organ starts up on the soundtrack. A moment of mundane physical bravery is accompanied by triumphant bursts of Enya’s 'Exile,' like something out of 'Last of the Mohicans.' There are also just funny random bits, like the Italian leader’s constant passing around of salami he stole from the luncheon buffet, or lines such as: 'Germany caught up in dramatics. We’ve seen this before.'"
Bilge Ebiri, New York
"There’s endless talk about broad topics from climate change to finance, but they never quite manage to get into any details, merely bloviating about nothing instead. Each character is deliberately and hilariously self-regarding, while facial expressions and line readings are often accompanied by pastiche melodramatic music. As political farces go, it’s in the territory richly explored by Armando Iannucci in 'The Thick of It,' 'In the Loop,' and 'The Death of Stalin.'"
Lou Thomas, Time Out
"'Rumours' is at its best when it’s focused on making its main characters into impetuous dumbasses. It goes into camp comedy as it sometimes genuinely feels like you’re watching an episode of an early 2000s teen drama. Maxime, complete with a side fade and man bun, is the bad boy who runs into the woods crying over the many, many ladies he's banged while a horny Helga is hellbent on becoming the next. The movie immediately brings some of the most powerful people in the world back down to touch grass. A melodramatic score only rivaled by 'May December' hammers this home; when Maxime tries to reminisce on a night spent with Cardosa, a smooth sexy jazz tune sweeps in. When Sylvain is rambling about the horrors that are at play, we get a dizzying close-up of his face, straight out of a 1960s British gothic horror movie."
Emma Kiely, Collider
"Even in these early scenes, a strangeness pervades the film: ironic, sometimes stagey or soapy, occasionally punctuated by over-the-top musical cues. Maddin, whose distinctive filmography includes the likes of 'Brand Upon The Brain!,' 'The Saddest Music In The World,' and 'The Forbidden Room,' has spent his career remixing the stylized techniques and degraded textures of silent films and early talkies to dreamlike and often delirious effect. 'Rumours' (which is set in something like the recognizable present and looks more or less like a movie made in the 2020s) is therefore an aesthetic outlier -- though, like much of Maddin’s work, it is governed by the maddening logic of melodramas and dreams."
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club
"None of them more so than Blanchett’s German chancellor Hilda Ortmann, who’s hosting the G7 in a power suit that screams 'I am hosting the G7!' (again, not literally). If she has an ulterior motive, it might have something to do with Canada’s strapping, man-bunned, and irony-blind prime minister Maxime Laplace (Roy Dupuis), who’s rumored to be stepping down because of an amusingly arcane insurance faux pas. But Maxime already has a fire in the iron with British prime minister Cardosa Dewindt (Nikki Amuka-Bird), because colonialism never stops f*****g the countries it claims for itself (cue the Cinemax-worthy sex jazz). Of course, any fears of Maddin pivoting towards sharp political commentary will be laid to rest as soon as 'Rumours' introduces us to American president Edison Wolcott, who’s played by the extremely not American Charles Dance, imperious accent included. There’s almost a moment when Edison unpacks that, but then he’s interrupted by a masturbating bog person or something. About that: French president Sylvain Broulez (a jolly Denis Ménochet) is obsessed with these mummified corpses from the ancient world, most of whom were thought to be leaders of their respective communities -- and were ritualistically murdered for their failure to lead their people. Their bones have disintegrated, but their skin has been preserved. Dig up a really unfortunate one and you can still see their intact penis slung around their neck. The ominous synth music that plays over the soundtrack when one of these bog people is unearthed in the beginning of the film is a decent indication that we might see more of them later, possibly in the aftermath to -- or as the cause of -- an apocalyptic event that strands the G7 in their writing gazebo without any assistance, phone service, or other contact with the outside world. If an outside world even remains to contact."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"For the purposes of a rather distasteful photo op, the German contingent has exhumed an Iron Age corpse (eerily preserved in fleshy, moist condition) from the rolling grounds, but this one archaeological gesture appears to have triggered an uprising of fluid-seeping ancient bodies, chasing the politicians into the surrounding forest when their servants mysteriously vanish. Within minutes, a low-stakes gathering of the world’s most protected people becomes a perilous survival quest as a thickevening fog encloses them, and the film’s visual language turns to that of baleful horror. Stefan Ciupek’s cinematography succumbs to exaggerated bursts of flame and haze, while the tense zitherings of Kristian Eidnes Andersen’s melodramatic score are wittily disproportionate to our emotional investment in proceedings."
Guy Lodge, Variety
"Not that understanding is really the point here. 'Rumours' operates on a surrealist plane of its own, making up the rules of its universe as it goes along. Shall we have millennia-old boneless bog people who come to life and menace the guests, it asks itself, and the answer is yes, why not? What if the non-source music swells and bursts like the melodramatic score of a soap opera at times? Sure!"
Leslie Felperin, The Hollywod Reporter
