DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
BODIES BODIES BODIES - Disasterpeace
"Being the chief of those games, the murder-mystery-themed 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' sets all the debauchery in motion across the imposing chambers of the estate. Before we know it, the posse loses all power and bloody bodies actually start falling one by one, against the backdrop of a raging storm and Disasterpeace’s increasingly alarming score. Working with 'Monos' cinematographer Jasper Wolf, Reijn makes terrific use of all the nooks and crannies of the house’s handsome interiors, nimbly navigating a mazy string of events with edge-of-your-seat intrigue, a decent dose of frights and a genuine sense of humor."
Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com
"It all comes together, primarily, because Reijin crafts a convincing mirror against super-online audiences. Her direction imbues this film with a striking originality, wherein the unrelenting tension and paranoid mood combine toward unnerving ends. The lighting, planned in collaboration with cinematographer Jasper Wolf ('Monos') and the actors themselves, rely on sparse lights from cellphones and flashlights, as they explore the immense mansion for the killer. The chiaroscuro shades create a gripping claustrophobic effect, as the actors fumble around in the dark. Winding stairs become a dark death trap, rendered creepier by the whimsical score. A car at the center of a hurricane’s whipping winds becomes a brief haven. I also just love the idea that without wifi, we’d all descend into murder."
Robert Daniels, IndieWire
THE BUBBLE - Michael Andrews, Andrew Bird
"Greenscreen has never been the natural domain of Apatow’s comedy, and this isn’t going to change that, despite a marathon end-credits list that would suggest far more impressive visual effects than anything on display. Even a robust John Williams-style score by Michael Andrews and Andrew Bird can’t breathe life into the plodding sci-fi scenes on a scorched Everest."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
THE GOOD NEIGHBOR - Enis Rotthoff
"This kind of slippery-slope narrative can hardly help holding our attention, even if Rick does little to maximize its tension, keeping violence mostly off-screen and maintaining a pace that’s far from taut. The film has a widescreen look that flatters Riga, but its handsome brightness doesn’t stir much suspenseful atmosphere. (Nor does Enis Rotthoff’s original score.)"
Dennis Harvey, Variety
JERRY & MARGE GO LARGE - Jake Monaco
"That said, harping too much on shortcomings of omission rather than commission runs the risk of shortchanging the movie’s considerable pleasures. Assisted by a lively score from Jake Monaco that appropriately threads the needle between sentimentality and playfulness, Frankel delivers a well-crafted, energetically paced movie that is consistently appealing."
Brent Simon, The Onion AV Club
"The direction by David Frankel ('The Devil Wears Prada') skews broad, especially in the 'this part is funny' score deployment and a couple of out-of-place physical gags. But that’s overcome by the central performances and a quite-funny script by Brad Copeland ('Arrested Development'). Though he works in some good gags, including a running one about Steely Dan (with a tossed-off payoff involving Prince) and an amusing tangent about potential hitchhiking, he doesn’t let the jokes get in the way of the story. Because, in this case, the story is enough."
Michael Ordona, Los Angeles Times
"The movie is a fable of winning, of beating the house every time, without much of a dark side. In that way, it’s fun; it allows us to coast along on our vicarious desire to get rich by beating the system, the way people who trade penny stocks based on 'hot' tips do. 'Jerry & Marge Go Large' is an agreeable lark, yet there’s something a bit prefab about it. The director, David Frankel, is a commercial filmmaker who, at his best, has shown some real personality. He made the very good Sarah Jessica Parker movie 'Miami Rhapsody' (1995), followed by 'The Devil Wears Prada' (2006) and 'Marley & Me' (2008), which I think is one of the best canine movies ever made, and also the wised-up marital comedy 'Hope Springs' (2012). 'Jerry & Marge Go Large' is likable, but compared to those previous Frankel movies it’s also tidy and thin. It’s like the pilot for a quirky small-town TV series -- a 'Northern Exposure' of revenue enhancement -- and it’s goosed along by one of those intrusively upbeat musical scores that keeps telling us, 'You’re having a wacky good time! At the movies!'"
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
As the cashier at one of those stores, Rainn Wilson contributes some affable stoner humor, but mostly he’s on duty to provide golly-gee narration during Jerry and Marge’s long hours of car travel, which, like everything else, tries too hard for charm. The road trips are accompanied also by random vintage needle drops — The Spencer Davis Group, Springsteen, The Kinks, The Who. Those at least are preferable to Jake Monaco’s sappy score.
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
MURINA - Evgueni & Sacha Galperine
"'Murina' sticks to familiarly opaque arthouse beats despite a dazzling symphonic opening sequence. And what an arresting sequence that opening is: In the capable hands of cinematographer Hélène Louvart ('The Lost Daughter,' 'Never Rarely Sometimes Always'), the film fades into an underwater shot of a rippling, cyan Mediterranean surface. It’s set to a stir of strings(from composers Evgueni and Sacha Galperine) that build toward a moment that feels like a cinematic overture. We then see two people, a father and a daughter, plunge deep into the water armed with fishing spears, shimmying to the seafloor to capture murina, the moray eels native to the region."
Ryan Lattanzio, IndieWire
"It’s a telling moment in Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic’s sinewy family drama, in which threats to domestic equilibrium -- Ante’s simmering anger, his wife Nela’s (Danica Curcic) secrets -- lurk just out of view. Tensions are already high between Julija and her father: they dive to spear fish together in harmony, but are at loggerheads when they reach the land. The discord is amplified by the arrival of Javi (Cliff Curtis), a wealthy friend of the family. The atmosphere, of sun and celebration, rings as hollow as the Europop that Ante blasts to drown out arguments; sonar-stabs of cello on the score sound a warning."
Wendy Ide, The Observer
NEPTUNE FROST - Saul Williams
"Evidently, the vehicle for most of these potent lines to get across is music: the one abundant, communally conceived and replenishable resource. Industrial sounds, jazzy melodies and percussions comprise the sonically saturated instrumental pieces that underscore the action or accompany the verses. Given his storied career as a musician, Williams excels in this territory. That each of the two co-auteurs gets to so brilliantly exhibit their most developed talents speaks of the strength of their artistic fusion."
Carlos Aguilar, The Wrap
"In this fantastical Afrofuturist universe, characters with names like Memory and Psychology traipse amongst whimsical sculptural sets, draped in art-piece costumes and makeup so eye-popping it makes the looks on 'Euphoria' seem conventional. The music is alive and thrumming, tapped into a twin spirit of joy and protest. While these elements never fully cohere to form a discernible narrative in 'Neptune Frost,' there is fun to be had in surrendering to the fluidity of its ingenuity."
Jude Dry, IndieWire
"As fascinating as these questions are, none of them would be engaging if not for the music which functions as 'Neptune Frost''s primary mode of exposition. The high-level concepts of the film’s premise dovetail perfectly into the eclectic sonic palette of its Afropunk-inspired soundtrack. The tracks that originated from Williams’ 2016 album 'MartyrLoserKing' have been re-orchestrated and rearranged to conform to the film’s context. The lyrics have been rewritten into a medley of Swahili and English, French and Kirundi, reflecting the global mindset at the heart of the film’s focus, and a reflection of Rwanda’s rich, varied cultural background. It isn’t the type of musical where people will feel compelled to memorize and belt out the lyrics, but they’re likely to find themselves nodding to the beat."
Toussaint Egan, Polygon
"'Neptune Frost' demands your attention. Uzeyman’s luminous cinematography caresses black skin under blue and purple lights, allowing this talented group of actors to play to every corner of their innate beauty. The ingenious costumes by Cedric Mizero -- a collection of wires, knobs, and hard drives -- range from motherboard chic to a lightweight yet richly colored fabric that is elegant. The musical numbers, fusions of singer-songwriter Williams’ Afropunk style with atmospheric drones owing to Sun Ra, spring from the group so organically you immediately become fluent in their dynamic rhythms, moods, and tones."
Robert Daniels, The Onion AV Club
"All of these are component parts of Williams and Uzeyman’s goal to reject boundaries of all kinds, and the film’s soundscape (which pulls from Williams’s 2016 album 'MartyrLoserKing') might be the most essential. Song structures include poetic non sequiturs, call and response, rapped sections, and spoken word, various forms combining into simultaneous self-expression and protest. Neptune and Mata reveal their dreams and their fears in these musical interludes, which sometimes serve the larger narrative and sometimes exist just for spontaneity’s sake -- as if there was just one more thing 'Neptune Frost' had to get off its chest."
Roxana Hadadi, New York
"'Neptune Frost' is a musical, yes, but it’s almost like a tone-poem. The music itself is terrific, sourced mostly from Saul Williams' 2016 concept album, 'MartyrLoserKing.' The entire film is like one long song, so it definitely doesn’t feel like a traditional musical in that sense. Even when there isn’t “music” the words and language spoken have a rhythm. When someone starts singing, it doesn’t feel out of place or jarring: It’s just an extension of the character."
Sarah Jane, The Austin Chronicle
THE RIGHTEOUS - Andrew Staniland
"This is a frightening film, but not in the traditional sense. It would perhaps be more appropriate to call it an angst-ridden mood piece, aided and amplified by Andrew Staniland’s imposing score of heavy strings and alarming crescendos. The story at the center earns that disquieting temperament as we begin following Frederic (Henry Czerny of 'Mission: Impossible,' giving a subtle performance seeped in sorrow), an ex-priest now shattered by grief and misgivings about his faith upon losing his adopted daughter to a mysterious tragedy. Still, Frederic and his wife Ethel (Mimi Kuzyk, powerful) try to get by, holding onto what little comfort that they may have."
Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com
"O’Brien squeezes an impressive amount of production value out of his small budget. Cinematographer Scott McClellan’s dread-inducing monochromatic images enhance Frederic’s spiritual and physical isolation. The mix of lighting cues, slow camera moves, and ominous angles communicate the unresolved turmoil in Frederic’s soul and provide ample breathing room for a production that’s mostly confined to one house. Andrew Staniland’s nerve jangling, hard-working score reinforces the thriller elements to a curious degree considering O’Brien is aiming for an elevated sense of religious inquiry that refreshingly keeps the crowd-pleasing jump scares and other tricks of the trade to a minimum."
