DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
MATERIALISTS - Daniel Pemberton
"A road trip late in the story allows Lucy and John to explore their feelings of regret, to consider what might have been. Cinematographer Shabier Kirchner captures a lingering wistfulness in the shifting sunlight, in the simplicity of white bulbs strung across a yard at night. And the score from Daniel Pemberton adds glamour and sprightly energy on the front end and suspense and dramatic heft as the film progresses."
Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com
"Song approaches both paths with a deft cinematic hand. Whether they’re chatting or smoking in silence, the space between Lucy and her suitors always feels electrified -- albeit at different voltages for each man. The exorbitant dates Harry takes her on have the warm glow of something comforting, and valuable. In bed together, they tangle in satin sheets, shot as if in a pristine, perfectly-planned perfume commercial, accompanied by Daniel Pemberton’s lightly melodic score. Meanwhile, nearly every scene involving the rough-and-tumble John involves a roving camera and the harsh sounds of New York City. His presence feels more improvised compared to the classically composed steeliness of Harry’s."
Siddhant Adlakha, IGN.com
"Especially for someone relatively new to filmmaking, Song’s thoughtfulness as a writer is matched by unerring instincts as a director -- nailing the balance between tonal variation and fluidity; getting superb work out of her actors; making judicious use of Daniel Pemberton’s gentle, melancholy score; and delivering a sweet, satisfying ending that keeps a lid on the sentiment."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
THE SURRENDER - Alex Winkler
"Alongside Minifie and Burton, 'The Surrender''s sound design is a consistent scene-stealer. Prosthetics and Special Effects Makeup by Sierra Spence and Josh Russell is a fitting accompaniment to sound effects edited by Frank Fussa, and the marriage of sounds and visual effects becomes a nauseating feast for the senses. Gory moments are enhanced by horrific crunches and growls, and in one particularly gnarly scene, Megan and Barbara are made to eat a mysterious morsel which crackles dryly in their gagging throats. Music by Alex Winkler, rife with eerie strings, also adds greatly to the movie's unsettling atmosphere."
Shaina Weatherhead, Collider
