DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
FINDING VIVIAN MAIER - J. Ralph
"It’s a breezy, perhaps overly tidy narrative ornamented with her work and packed with interviews with some of her old charges and their parents. Some of the darker reminiscences are in sharp contrast to the movie’s upbeat tone and relentlessly jaunty music."
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
"The film looks fine for a digitally shot production and is greatly enhanced by the countless photos and some audio and film footage from Maier herself. J. Ralph’s score is classical in all meanings of the word."
Boyd van Hoeij, The Hollywood Reporter
MATCH - Stpehen Trask
"The conversation eventually drifts back to Tobi’s place, where liquor and pot serve to lubricate the uneasy dynamic. In theater, such tension inevitably serves as foreplay for the emotional explosion to come, though onscreen, where audiences have been conditioned to expect mini-climaxes with each scene, a film so cleanly broken into two acts feels awkward and underdeveloped. What plays as subtext onstage sits naked and uncomfortable on the surface the instant the couple’s true agenda emerges. In effect, Belber has supplied fresh music (a lovely score by 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' composer Stephen Trask), but upset the dance: Cues that had previously been delivered via body language and blocking are now communicated via closeups and facial expressions -- a level of intimacy that makes Tobi’s refusal to answer the couple’s potentially inappropriate questions seem like little more than stalling."
Peter Debruge, Variety
TIMBUKTU - Amine Bouhafa
"The performances are hushed and memorable. Cinematographer Sofian El Fani captures the beauty of this desert land. Amine Bouhafa's score is its own act of gorgeous grace and defiance."
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
"Sofian El Fani’s superb ’Scope camerawork and Amine Bouhafa’s lyrical score (a treat for fans of Anouar Brahem) help to hold the somewhat fragmented narrative together, as does Sissako’s familiar tonal boldness. Even if his purpose here is deeply serious in social, philosophical, political and humanist terms, he’s not at all afraid to leaven the brew with moments of humour: for example, a discussion of defeats and victories that turns out to be about football, not battle."
Geoff Andrew, Sight & Sound
"Performances are mesmeric, even the smaller roles, and Sissako’s unfailing sense of color, contrasting with the pale desert landscape, holds the eye without distracting from the story. D.p. Sofiane El Fani creates stately compositions quite removed from the neorealism of frequent collaborator Abdellatif Kechiche, and the music, with its combination of traditional Malian melodies and more Western orchestral accompaniment, is beautifully suited to the images."
Jay Weissberg, Variety
"A great help is the palpably sensuous cinematography by Sofian El Fani who follows his fine work on 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' with an open-air feast of sunlight and space. The musical selection from Amine Bouhafa is subtle and persuasive."
Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter
VIRUNGA - Patrick Jonsson
"In its most intense montage sequence, when seemingly every major character endures the same struggle at once, the movie reaches the height of its manipulative tendencies. Patrick Jonsson’s mournful score, set against slo-mo shots of animals fleeing an onslaught of tanks and shelling, may strike some viewers as overdone. But it’s this blatant artifice that elevates the mission behind the story: It gives the real-life scenario a sense of immediacy. The effect is especially potent with the director’s frequent cutaways to wide-eyed gorillas, watching from the bushes like silent judges on a never-ending saga. More than anyone else, they manage to persevere against impossible odds. Ever as it casts their future prospects in doubt, 'Virunga' concludes by envying the apes’ perspective most of all."
Eric Kohn, IndieWIRE
WILD TALES - Gustavo Santaolalla
"As with the latter, Szifrón opens his film with a short, sharp prologue, in which a group of air passengers come to a collective, and disastrous, realisation about the pilot of their plane, thus perfectly setting the tone -- vertiginous, giddy, fatal -- for the otherwise independent five wild tales that follow. And despite their different genre trappings – road movie, melodrama, thriller -- the stories also share Javier Julia’s striking cinematography and Gustavo Santaolalla’s equally excellent soundtrack, not to mention an altogether superb line-up of Argentine actors."
Mar Diestro-Dopido, Sight & Sound
"Cinematographer Javier Julia brings a different look to each location -- from a dusty, sun-baked highway to a neon-lit diner to a fluorescent DMV hellhole to a pricey hotel ballroom -- which both accentuates the atmosphere of each piece and allows us to keep each story separate and discrete. Talented composer Gustavo Santaolalla ('Brokeback Mountain,' 'The Motorcycle Diaries') weaves together a score that feels right for each separate part while also making each passage feel like part of a whole."
Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
"Visuals are flawless, and Javier Julia’s bright lensing has a lean sense of irony that adds to the general pleasure. Special effects are well handled and perfectly in keeping with the scale of what’s around them, while music, frequently referencing spaghetti Western chords, fits the tone without pushing any wink-wink superiority to the material."
Jay Weissberg, Variety
"The cast is strong throughout, and the good-looking film is crafted in high style, with lots of eye-catching touches from production designer Clara Notari and unconventional camera angles from cinematographer Javier Julia. It also has a wonderful sense of place, from the loneliest backwaters to the densest pockets of Buenos Aires. Wrapping it all up is a terrific spaghetti Western-flavored score from Oscar-winner Gustavo Santaolalla, mixed with invigorating pre-existing music choices."
David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
THE WOMAN IN BLACK 2: ANGEL OF DEATH - Marco Beltrami, Marcus Trumpp, Brandon Roberts
"As the body count (finally) begins to rise and panic sets in, Harper manages a couple of reasonably jolting scares, mostly through shock edits and sudden shrieks on the soundtrack -- or surges of the musical score credited to composers Marco Beltrami, Marcus Trumpp and Brandon Roberts."
Scott Foundas, Variety
"More successful in creating an overall atmosphere of dread are the film’s cinematography and production design, which work in concert to maximize the impact of the Eel Marsh House’s dimly lit rooms and state of extreme decrepitude. Expert if conventionally employed sound design and Marco Beltrami’s excellent score also help put a sharp edge on key scenes."
Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter
