DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
BACURAU - Mateus Alves, Tomaz Alves Souza
"As shot by cinematographer Pedro Sotero, 'Bacurau' is a colorful variation on 'Seven Samurai,' but there are no experienced warriors coming to the rescue here. Instead, the villagers must fight for their lives against encroaching forces and selfish politicians who will sell them out. Rita Azevedo’s outfits in 'Bacurau' range from the white coats or dresses of matriarchal characters, the townsfolk’s mishmash of multicolored tank tops and shirts, the camo gear of the hobby hunters playing dress-up and Lunga’s “Mad Max”-meets-clubwear look. Editor Eduardo Serrano’s compositions are both transfixing and unnerving, as quick edits of villagers taking drugs intersperse through both tense and slow moments in the film. Mateus Alves and Tomaz Alves Souza mix an eclectic collection of electronic and Brazilian sounds and music to enhance the movie’s sense of place and futurism."
Monica Castillo, RogerEbert.com
"Kleber Mendonça Filho and co-director Juliano Donnelles’s 'Bacurau' assembles a vibrant and eclectic collage of reference points. It’s a wild neo-western that pulls into its orbit UFO-shaped drones, elaborate folklore, limb-flaying and head-exploding gore, and Udo Kier as a villain who shouts in a mockingly high-pitched voice, 'Hell no!' This sci fi-inflected sociopolitical satire gleefully skirts camp, co-opting John Carpenter’s favored font for its credits, leaning hard into a chintzy electronic score (which includes 'Night,' a Carpenter original), and making frequent use of the antiquated wipe transition."
Sam C. Mac, Slant Magazine
BANANA SPLIT - Annie Hart
"DP Darin Morgan keeps things looking polished on a limited budget, while he and Kasulke -- and editor Brendan Walsh ('Between Two Ferns: The Movie') -- ably capture the script’s wry sensibility, tweaking familiar setups like fast-paced montages, packed house parties, and awkward family dinners. These scenes are deftly aided by music supervisor Marissa Gallien, whose feminist soundtrack expands to include Annie Hart’s synth-pop score, Brit punk from X-Ray Spex and Junglepussy’s pivotally unapologetic hip-hop."
Elizabeth Weitzman, The Wrap
"At the same time, April and Clara are in denial of a conflict that will have to rear its head. The director, Benjamin Kasulke, is a veteran cinematographer who brings the L.A. settings a spangly glow, but he stages too many scenes with generic 'punch.' I wish he’d played against the comedy instead of italicizing it, and that he’d come up with some pop-music epiphanies and ditched the film’s cloying synthesizer score. Yet Kasulke establishes a space where Marks and Liberato can let their brainy sensual spirits -- and lashing putdowns -- fly, and he does an excellent job with the supporting actors, like Addison Riecke as April’s outrageously aggressive kid sister (who’s 13 and says things like 'So you’re rebound f*cking?') and Luke Spencer Roberts, who invests the Jon Cryer role with a stylish anxiety that’s more layered than usual. When he steals a kiss from April, we’re pretty sure she won’t ask for it back."
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
THE BANKER - H. Scott Salinas
"'The Banker' has the look and feel of an idolizing biopic. The movie glosses over several events in Garrett’s life and rewrites portions of his own personal history, as well as Eunice’s role during the time depicted on-screen (to say nothing of the recent allegations of sexual abuse that came out against former co-producer and son of the main character Bernard Garrett Jr.). H. Scott Salinas’ score often shows up thick and heavy with swelling notes, saddling some moments with too much gravitas. Other scenes get too bogged down in the housing market math to flow freely into the next action, and skim over more damning redlining policies that kept potential Black homeowners out of neighborhoods across the country. This simplistic look at the fuller picture makes it seem Garrett and Morris were the only Black men who did not lack the wits and resources to take on housing inequality head-on, yet there were probably others like them who just haven’t had a movie made about them yet. With this in mind, 'The Banker' remains only serviceable."
Monica Castillo, RogerEbert.com
THE CALL OF THE WILD - John Powell
"Too bad, then, that Buck doesn’t fare as well in the presence of humans. Set to John Powell’s lively but generic orchestral score, the dog’s journeys through human turf are often undercut by his all-too-human ability to interact with flesh-and-blood actors: It looks ridiculous. Ford gives a soulful performance, but his tender interactions with Buck -- who engages with his master as if he comprehends every word -- are so unconvincing that it’s a wonder that the studio didn’t throw in the towel and let the animal talk."
Eric Kohn, IndieWire
EXTRA ORDINARY - George Brennan
"The supernatural comedy 'Extra Ordinary' opens with, and periodically returns to, lo-fi VHS footage, expertly faked complete with tracking noise at the bottom of the frame. These bits are excerpts from a video series called 'Investigating The Extraordinary,' where host Vincent Dooley (Risteárd Cooper) explains how we’re surrounded by ghosts that are easy to miss without a keen second sight, in a tone just serious enough for the goofiest lines to sneak up and score a laugh. ('Even the weakest ghost can possess cheese quite easily,' he explains matter-of-factly). Given these kitschy interludes and the movie’s synth-y score, it seems possible early on that 'Extra Ordinary' will be aimed directly at those ’80s fetishists who treat 'Ghostbusters' as scripture -- and that the movie will toil away in a subgenre that claims 'Ghostbusters' as one of its few successes."
Jesse Hassenger, The Onion AV Club
FIRST COW - William Tyler
"'First Cow,' adapted by Reichardt with frequent collaborator Jonathan Raymond from the latter’s novel 'The Half Life,' is many things. A simultaneously gentle and unsparing dissection of the formative flaws of capitalism, and thus of the 'American dream'; a frontier story which captures the harsh realities and simple pleasures of a life built painstakingly from rock, wood, and soil; a heist movie; an argument for the power of baked goods. It is somehow both brutal and pastoral, peaceful and laced through with the inevitability of disaster and death. (Nothing fragile can hold forever -- not a tree branch, not a ruse, not luck, and not peace, no matter what William Tyler’s beautiful, serene score might trick you into believing.) But above all else, it is a story of friendship, treated here as a haven and basic human need, as essential as water or bread. The film begins with a quote from William Blake’s 'Proverbs of Hell': The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship. And those bones are, for the viewer as well as the woman (Alia Shawkat) who finds them, both an invitation and a door into that friendship."
Allison Shoemaker, RogerEbert.com
"'First Cow' has been adapted from 'The Half-Life,' a novel by Reichardt’s longtime collaborator John Raymond, who co-wrote the screenplay with her. Raymond’s novel, however, contrasted the frontier setting with a modern-day tale of friendship; by dropping that storyline, Reichardt allows the period backdrop to take on an inquisitive quality that interrogates the present without confronting it directly. William Tyler’s ebullient score draws out the gradual sense of possibility percolating through the empty scenery, and gives the story a sweeter quality than the melancholy dominating much of her work. It hovers in the ambition of its characters, setting up the emotional process they undergo when the reality of their scheme comes crashing into the pictures."
Eric Kohn, IndieWire
"Featuring a terrific dusty score by William Tyler, and solid unshowy performances by Magaro and Lee (who we really want to see more of now), Reichardt finds a cultural moment where an unforgiving landscape and era begins to side up next to what’s become a relatively cosmopolitan time thanks to the goldrush and the fur trade. In its beautiful final moment, 'First Cow' whispers a silently hopeful notion: even in moments of tragedy, we are all we have and a life of loneliness is no life at all."
Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist
"Reichardt relies on an equally solid crew for the production elements. Costume designer April Napier ('Booksmart') and production designer Anthony Gasparro ('Certain Women”') studied texts from the era to build in authenticity, and William Tyler mixes his own soulful compositions with on-screen music (a scratchy violin here or a mouth harp there) to enhance the period feel."
Elizabeth Weitzman, The Wrap
"'First Cow' is deceptively spare: It’s shot by Christopher Blauvelt in his and Reichardt’s customary boxy ratio, which concentrates the image and keeps your eyes from straying to far-off corners (there aren’t any), while the composer, William Tyler, seems not to be scoring the action so much as gently, sadly musing on it with banjo and harp. (Tyler’s country albums are much more busily orchestrated.) The effect is just so. You’re left sad but happy. But very sad. But happy, after all, when you think about Blake and what a life without friendship could be. This haunting movie transports you to another world -- and redefines home."
David Edelstein, New York
"Subdued notes of suspense come into play as the movie progresses, amplified by the needling strings and unsettling drone sounds of William Tyler's acoustic score. But Reichardt has no interest in the kind of conventional storytelling that requires clues and revelations building to an explicatory conclusion. Instead, she simply lays out the pieces with great sensitivity and restraint, leaving the audience to make the association between the film's haunting final image and its almost wordless opening. In retrospect, that picture of death acquires a strange serenity."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
ONWARD - Mychael Danna, Jeff Danna
"Ian and Barley Lightfoot’s (Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) 24-hour quest is lively and sometimes funny but seldom surprising. Writer-director Dan Scanlon and co-scripters Jason Headley and Keith Bunin have assembled a story from spare parts of various adventure and sword-and-sorcery flicks, and topped it with a sentimental coda about the value of a male role model. Mychael Danna and Jeff Danna’s drippy score pleads for tears, but viewers who sniffle are more likely to have been moved by personal associations than the film’s emotional heft."
Mark Jenkins, Slant Magazine
"D&D nerds might get a kick out of the dreaded appearance of the Gelatinous Cube, a block of ooze that engulfs everything in its path, but the dangers that surface throughout the brothers' quest seldom remain a threat long enough to create suspense -- despite the hard work of Mychael and Jeff Danna's thundering orchestral score. The most impressive adversary is a fearsome creature spontaneously assembled out of the wreckage of a guardian curse in the story's climactic battle, though the simpler, rough-hewn menace of something like the Rock Monster in 'Galaxy Quest,' conceived along similar lines, was a lot more fun."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
RESISTANCE - Angelo Milli
"A romantic subplot between Marcel and a fellow Resistance fighter named Emma (Clémence Poesy), whose courage outstrips his own, similarly clouds our view of the man Marceau would become, while suggesting some rather conventional thinking in what makes audiences care about characters. Watching Marcel perform a wordless routine just for Emma, culminating with a flourish in which he produces a paper flower for her benefit, feels like something one might expect in a far tackier movie. That’s because 'Resistance' tells a story that’s plenty strong on its own terms, and if anything, it’s a bonus that one of the key participants should survive to become famous. Afforded depth and gravitas by Angelo Milli’s string score, the film hardly needs the framing device in which Ed Harris appears as Gen. George S. Patton, regaling his troops with Marceau’s story before inviting him onstage for his first public show."
Peter Debruge, Variety
SAINT FRANCES - Quinn Tsan, Alexander Babbitt
"It's no doubt true that pockets of conservative intolerance exist in Chicago's well-heeled 'burbs, but an indignant woman at the park (Rebecca Spence), bristling about Maya breast-feeding in public, feels more like a device than a real person. Likewise, a neighbor of Maya and Annie's (Rebekah Ward), who remembers Bridget from Northwestern and starts treating her like the help as soon as she registers the situation. The woman is such a toxic *sshole -- she wrote a motivational book called Resting Rich Face and has an 'Unborn Lives Matter' sticker on her refrigerator -- that you question whether their kids' playdates would be enough to sustain even a superficial friendship with the lesbians next door. But Thompson's direction and O'Sullivan's screenplay are more often characterized by their light touch than their missteps in a likeable film elevated by its crisp, summery look and warm score."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
THE WAY BACK - Rob Simonsen
"The basketball games are filmed with a thrilling sense of reality: the fans seem real, the refs seem real, the kids on the other team seem real. O'Connor and editor David Rosenbloom have made a couple of really smart editing choices: you see Jack coaching the kids at practice, and as he details the plays, there's a cut to later in the game, showing the kids executing these same moves. The games feel like real games. I must mention here Rob Simonsen's score, and how well it's integrated. Some scenes go by without music at all, so when the music comes in, it's a cue that something is about to happen. It's a very big score. The film isn't filled with needle-drops of hit songs. (Similarly, Mark Isham's score in 'Miracle' is such a huge contribution it's hard to imagine the film without it.) O'Connor does not shy away from the emotion of his films. Instead, he embraces it."
Sheila O’Malley, RogerEbert.com
"'The Way Back' climaxes, as it must, with an all-or-nothing showdown against Hayes High School’s powerful arch rivals. But, in the film’s smartest and most resonant move, one that cleverly exposes the artifice of its own genre conventions, this big game doesn’t resolve much of anything. Instead, it’s merely the momentary high before Jack hits the lowest of lows. After he gets fired from the team for showing up to a practice stinking of booze, Jack goes on a bender that ends with him crashing his car, stumbling into the wrong house, and getting severely roughed up in a confrontation with the homeowner. For a moment, 'The Way Back' seems to be the rare sports film that recognizes that the gritty glory of competition can’t solve all your problems. Ultimately, however, it succumbs to the demands of its genre, with a final passage that cross-cuts between scenes of Jack in rehab and shots of his players excitedly rallying themselves for their first playoff game by shouting, 'Win this one for Coach Cunningham!' -- all while Rob Simonsen’s score, which shamelessly apes Vangelis’s iconic 'Chariots of Fire' theme, gradually swells to a mawkish crescendo."
