DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
AURORA'S SUNRISE - Christine Aufderhaar
"I wished some of the animation was a little sharper, although I suspect the lack of style is intentional. Characters have a habit of floating instead of walking and minimal facial expressions, but a stronger animated look might have really amplified the sense of memory in the overall piece. Christine Aufderhaar’s lovely score helps greatly with the animated segments, giving them an even greater sense of loss without being manipulative."
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
EL CONDE - Juan Pablo Ávalo, Marisol García
"Luchsinger may be one of 'El Conde''s standout performers, but there is still plenty to look at and listen to when she’s not on screen. Edward Lachman’s digital black-and-white cinematography is striking. From Pinochet’s cosmopolitan nighttime hunts to the starkness of the family’s tundra hideout, the camera seems to capture the whole light spectrum in grayscale. Juan Pablo Ávalo and Marisol García’s score is also excellent, relying largely on jagged but warm cello tones that appropriately heighten the sense of mania as the film barrels into a very amusing third act which sees the major characters finally convene."
Drew Gillis, The Onion AV Club
"Of course, that notion is the most basic seed of a Pinochet film set more than a decade after its subject actually died, but 'El Conde' -- for all the windswept beauty of its barren locations, and the Grimm detail of its interior production design -- is too housebound for its evil to blossom any wider than a wry smile. The movie often seems like a self-parody of Larraín’s similarly cloistered 'Jackie' and 'Spencer,' down to its suffocating gorgeousness and baroque score (Juan Pablo Ávalo and Marisol García stand in for Mica Levi and Jonny Greenwood)."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"The crowning glory is Juan Pablo Ávalo and Marisol García’s score -- suitably heavy on tempestuous strings that go from brooding to agitation to full-throttle sinister power. Those passages are effectively blended with century-spanning compositions from Strauss, Britten, Purcell, Vivaldi, Gabriel Fauré, Arvo Pärt and André Caplet, among others."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
GOLDA - Dascha Dauenhauer
"The movie’s account of those failures -- but also the failures of Egypt and Syria, which seize but cannot maintain the upper hand -- is appreciably absorbing, even if the war itself, waged on two fronts on the Sinai Peninsula and in the Golan Heights, is kept largely hidden from view. It thus falls to the swift, fluid movements of Jasper Wolf’s camera and the suspenseful thrum of Dascha Dauenhauer’s score to bring this rickety war room procedural to life. The tension is heightened by the steady clacking of typewriter keys and, from time to time, the soldiers’ screams we hear being transmitted from the battlefront, screams that lodge indelibly in Meir’s memory and give the life-and-death stakes an insistently human voice."
Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
"This non-diegetic insert, almost feeling familiar to elements of last year’s evocative and grim 'The Stranger,' falls flat when she then sucks it all back in. Anything more potentially striking just gets swallowed up by the standard way everything else comes together. A more disquieting score, which could have taken hold like Mica Levi’s did in 'Jackie,' instead is still oddly held at a distance. The nightmares of the conflict that haunts Golda in her home, captured via a roaming camera as the constant ringing of the phones begins to reach deafening levels, feel like it is one of many instances that are being guided by an oddly clumsy hand. Its execution is meant to evoke fear and pain though it just comes across as bluntly banal. Toss in far too many other moments where the effects completely take you out of a scene and the film’s struggles become insurmountable for its committed performers."
Chase Hutchinson, Collider
"The intense visuals find a complement in Dascha Dauenhauer’s striking score and Niv Adiri’s sound design that mixes the Noh-theatre-style percussion with the crackle of short-wave radio conversations. A lot of the film watches on as Meir and the generals listen in to the sound of men dying on the battlefield as they play cat and mouse with the Egyptians and Syrians. There’s no blood on display but the agony and pain is embedded in the very soundscape itself."
Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter
HOME TEAM - Rupert Gregson-Williams
"'Home Team' is the story of a man who turned a punishment into a learning lesson, but it never feels more than superficially interested in the very idea that that man had to be caught (or at least accused of) breaking the rules to spend any time with his own son. It’s a complex idea in a family sports movie structure that avoids complexity by its very nature. In an early scene, Payton tells the boys one obvious defensive play, they score their first TD of the season, and Payton smiles like he’s feeling the joy of sports for the first time ever as the music soars. Really? It’s almost a parody of bad sports movies, which is harmless enough unless you consider the allegation that it’s all true. NONE of it feels true."
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
HOW TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC - Osei Essed
"In an already packed field of pandemic docs -- with Nanfu Wang’s “In the Same Breath” so far the best -- 'How to Survive a Pandemic' is somewhere between feeling like another of many (thanks to familiar drone shots, stats, kaleidoscopic structuring, and thriller music), and yet in its bracing totality, coming off as reason enough to keep these films coming if we’re still trying to figure out what went wrong amidst so much affirming, important work."
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
"There is enough material in France’s new picture to fill an extensive miniseries, yet by cramming it all into a 106-minute running time, the film occasionally plays like a feature-length infomercial for vaccines, complete with a slick and intrusive score marked by angelic flourishes. What this leaves the film with is a series of micro-vignettes that don’t spend enough time on the urgent message spelled out bluntly over the end title cards, namely that a mere eight percent of people in low-income countries had access to vaccines in 2021, a direct result of the inequities in global distribution that led to an estimated one million lives being needlessly lost."
Matt Fagerholm, RogerEbert.com
THE NUN II - Marco Beltrami
"Logic, though, is not at the forefront of 'The Nun II' which, like its predecessor, attempts to force the fear through endless jump scares and bombastic music rather than take time to build any real tension. Minor-key subplots involving how Sister Irene’s maternal lineage -- detailed in brief soft focus flashbacks to her childhood -- may mark her out for a certain kind of divinity, and one involving Sister Debra’s lack of faith, seem grafted on, perhaps in an attempt to bring substance. In fact, the main horror here is that, with 15 years of time to kill between the end of this film and the beginning of 'The Conjuring 2,' set in 1977, there may be more of these chapters yet to come."
Nikki Baughan, Screen Daily
"It’s not the destination that matters in these movies, however, but the chills en route. (Just as well, too, since 'The Nun II' culminates in something reminiscent of the prior film’s inane apex, in which Sister Irene literally spat the blood of Christ into a demon’s face.) Ably scored by series newcomer Marco Beltrami, the movie stirs enough pleasurably menacing sound and fury to pass muster -- never mind that when the final credits wrap, few will remember just where it leaves the overall 'Conjuring' saga, let alone why."
Dennis Harvey, Variety
OUR FATHER, THE DEVIL - Gavin Brivik
"For 'Our Father, the Devil,' forgiveness looms large. Foumbi’s complex script asks if some acts are beyond absolution. It’s clear that Marie doesn’t just despise Father Patrick; she hates the religion he finds mercy in, too. She also despises herself. Sadjo plays with Marie’s internal impossibilities and exterior brick walls with deceptive ease. It seems simple because the exceptional crafts (evocative wine-colored lighting and an unnerving score) provided by an assured director like Foumbi can help to hide the actress’ work. Sadjo also keeps up her end of the bargain by employing her expressive face to deliver shock, regret, and ache to the refined palette and by exerting a rigid physicality, which can freeze and immobilize not just her character but the very temperature of a scene."
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
THE SHEPHERDESS AND THE SEVEN SONGS - Naren Chandavarkar, Benedict Taylor
"The lush forests and imposing arid slopes of Jammu and Kashmire are gorgeously filmed by first-time feature cinematographer Ranabir Das. His carefully composed shots of sunlight piercing through tree canopies and mist hovering near ground level give a strong sense of a magical location where anything could happen. A lovely score by Naren Chandavarkar and Benedict Taylor featuring the traditional Iranian tar and setar stringed instruments transports the tale beyond its immediate Indian location and into the world of Laila and her nomadic Muslim community."
Richard Kuipers, Variety
"The story is divided into seven traditional 'songs' whose topics range from marriage and migration to regret and playfulness. Some truly beautiful music composed by Naren Chandavarkar and Benedict Taylor illuminates the film, including a love song sung by Randhawa in her clear voice."
Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter
SIMONE: WOMAN OF THE CENTURY - Olvon Yacob
"Dahan has cast the movie well, including small roles for Philippe Torreton and Sylvie Testud, but his preference for short, punchy scenes and declamatory lines does his actors no favors. Ultimately, the restless approach, ever-roaming camera, and operatic flourishes (including an overworked score) create a skimming effect, when we hunger for a fuller portrait of the scarred, steely soul driven to alleviate suffering and counter injustice, against all odds."
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
"It’s not clear why Dahan believes such flourishes are necessary to embellish an already deeply dramatic story, but embellish he does, not just through showy camerawork, but through the emotional signposting of Olvon Yacob’s score, and a luscious attention to the details of period clothing and decor. Yet despite the exhaustive way her life is dressed and described, we never get to know who Simone Veil really was."
Jessica Kiang, Variety
SUPERIOR - Jessica Moss
"The eerie detachment, the kitschy interiors, the lurid use of color, the ominous synth score. There’s more than a hint of David Lynch’s signature noir aesthetic in 'Superior,' the feature filmmaking debut from director and co-writer Erin Vassilopoulos. Her story even explores the undercurrent of danger running just below the placid surface of small-town America, Lynch’s preferred playground. But while 'Superior' has a rich style and a couple of intriguing ideas, it ultimately doesn’t add up to much, leaving you with the feeling that you’re watching an inferior homage. And yet, the film is always fabulous to look at—so much so that it keeps you hanging on, hoping that something thrilling or surprising will happen. A team of talented women behind the scenes contributed to its vivid, retro-chic vibe, including cinematographer Mia Cioffi Henry, shooting in grainy 16mm; production designer Maite Perez-Nievas; costume designer Allison Pearce; and composer Jessica Moss. The calendar on the kitchen wall says October 1987, but there’s something out of time about 'Superior' that puts you in a confused mood from the start. Everything feels about a decade behind, as if these sisters are wading through the fog toward the brighter future that might be waiting for them. By the end, though, it’s hard to care whether they get there."
Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com
"From there, after a slightly baggy middle portion, the story darkens, without going to any very unexpected places. But the moody atmospherics remain inventively idiosyncratic throughout, from DP Mia Cioffi Henry’s textured, warm-grained 16mm photography, to Jessica Moss’ excellent, echoey score, enhanced with occasional uncanny nonverbal vocals, and on through to the woozy, bluesy rhythms of the editing, handled by Jenn Ruff and Vassilopoulos herself. It all combines somehow, despite the 1980s setting, into filmmaking that most recalls that of the early ’90s, when off-kilter indie noirs had a moment: 'Superior' feels like a John Dahl movie given a 'Twin Peaks' vibe on a Hal Hartley budget, with just the odd dash of Old Hollywood thrown in for good measure, like the deliberately 'Rear Window'-aping, flashbulb-popping finale."
Jessica Kiang, Variety
"'Superior''s most successful element might be its inspired-by-the-’80s aesthetic choices. The nervous synths (by composer Jessica Moss), quasi-grainy cinematography (by Mia Cioffi Henry) and modern-leaning costumes (by Allison Pearce) suggest an out-of-time quality that meshes well with the not-quite characters."
Inkoo Kang, The Hollywood Reporter
