DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
CYPHER - Patrick Belagam, Bobby McFerrin
"There’s no way to enjoy 'Cypher' without seeing it as an elaborate and often exasperating joke at viewers’ expense. It literally ends as such, though I won’t spoil the plot further. The filmmakers already do that when they inevitably land on a too-gentle and mostly generic feel-bad anticlimax. The rest of 'Cypher' is largely entertaining, though only if you enjoy stories about world-manipulating shot-callers with doofy names like the Oculists, a high-powered offshoot of the Masons. You might also enjoy the unusual craftsmanship -- particularly the scene-to-scene editing and unnerving soundtrack, including a score by Patrick Belaga and, uh, Bobby McFerrin? -- that makes it easier to buy the movie’s self-serious fabulism."
Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com
FINESTKIND - Carter Burwell
"Yet as “Finestkind” takes on so much water it becomes ridiculous to believe in, the story and performances between Foster and Jones sometimes contain moments of real soulful grit, arguably even poignant and painful elements of shame, regret, and failure from a father’s perspective. But anyone who’s ever had a complicated family (all of us?) should at least relate to some of it, at the very least, maybe some of the elements of a remorseful patriarch trying to set things right. Of course, some of this drama has its cliches too, but there are some elements here, particularly Carter Burwell’s affecting score, that make some of it undeniably moving (and yes, without that score, maybe none of it works, but Burwell is one of the best in the business for a reason). Cinematographer Crille Forsberg (David Bowie’s 'Lazarus' music video) also gives the movie a grubby, grimy polish that makes it all feel real and lived-in."
Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist
"'Finestkind' has all the right pieces to make an interesting drama, but Helgeland can’t get them together in a way that isn’t over-the-top and downright silly. Even the score from the great Carter Burwell is cloying and irritating, highlighting the dramatic beats in an awkward, ham-fisted way. 'Finestkind' is a mishmash of ideas, shifting stakes, and poor choices that should've floated, but instead, it just sinks."
Ross Bonaime, Collider
"When the brothers are out to sea, cinematographer Crille Forsberg’s keen eye captures heartwarming images of Charlie learning the ropes, of men employed in a profession they love -- fishing out scallops -- and captivating compositions of the ocean’s wide expanse. Helgeland unfortunately doesn’t allow these meditative scenes to simply speak for themselves; in an uncharacteristic miss, composer Carter Burwell’s grungy guitar and pushy piano score is far too overpowering, leaving no emotional button unpressed."
Robert Daniels, IndieWire
LOS FRIKIS - Steven Price
"Nilson and Schwartz’s film, which they wrote and directed, grounds the story of 'Los Frikis' with plenty of historical detail to immerse the audience in this turbulent era. Sometimes, it’s helpful context, especially for those who may not know what Cuba’s Special Period meant. Still, other times, it’s distracting, like the intrusion of an English-language U.S. news broadcast recounting an experimental treatment a Cuban doctor explained just moments before. Other times, it’s glaringly apparent how much the filmmakers wanted to contrast the dreary street life during the Special Period against the glowing rural paradise where Paco, his Friki friends, and Gustavo played music, ate ice cream, and enjoyed their own bed, all luxuries they didn’t have back in the city. During these scenes, Nilson, Schwartz, and cinematographer Santiago Gonzalez film the Dominican Republic standing in for Cuba in a golden light, complete with a breathtaking vista, humble cabins near an idyllic stream, lush green mountains, and a wild horse Gustavo looks after that becomes a spiritual equivalent to his brother’s untamed spirit. Composer Steven Price’s music swells at almost every opportunity to heighten emotions, smothering the narrative with extra feelings."
Monica Castillo, RogerEbert.com
"That narrative decision is cause for ambivalent sentiments given the stakes. Certain moments of unabashed emotion where the music swells feel attuned to the vivid realism of cinematographer Santiago Gonzalez’s hyperactive camera. However, their luminosity might also read like an unwillingness, on the artists’ part, to step fully into the darkness. It’s also true that such rousing energy speaks to the frikis’ inherent defiance. Their very existence can be interpreted as a political act, their joy an ideological weapon against the oppressors."
Carlos Aguilar, Variety
MANODROME - Christopher Stacey
"The characters feel thin, the secret society seems implausible and its goals too vague to capture the imagination. 'Manodrome' taps into a deep unease at play in the wider world, but it presents only the shell of an idea, focusing on a not-terribly-interesting character with only the haziest of goals. The film should be highly disturbing, but the dramatic tension never gels, despite composer Christopher Stacey’s efforts to unmoor us by injecting discordant strings beneath mundane scenes. The movie focuses on a man without much ambition swept up into a movement of similarly disenfranchised guys. They pledge voluntary celibacy and swear off the controlling influence of women."
Peter Debruge, Variety
MAXINE'S BABY: THE TYLER PERRY STORY - James Poyser
"But this movie -- co-credited to Armani Ortiz, a regular director on Perry’s TV programs, and filmmaker Gelila Bekele, Perry’s ex-girlfriend, and mother of his son Aman -- is worshipful and pours on hype in gallon jugs. It even has a virtually nonstop gospel-tinged score with heavenly choir voices and ethereal effects. There’s a lot of moving and painful material in here, particularly during the early sections about the abuse inflicted on Perry by his father and many triumphant moments (mainly having to do with Perry proving, time and again, that he knows his still underserved audience better than anybody, and is resourceful enough to sidestep the white establishment and do things his way)."
Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
OUR LITTLE SECRET - Emily Bear
"Avery and Logan both need to get on the good side of Erica, played by Chenoweth with a control-freak hauteur so brittle it achieves excruciating self-mockery. Lohan, sly and centered, holds her own amidst the broadness, and so does the sharp, dry Ian Harding (from 'Pretty Little Liars'). But these two are too dogged to be funny; that’s part of why they belong together. The plot vaccums up all the other characters’ secrets (an affair, a late-night drinking binge…and who ate all the cookies?), then spews them out in a Christmas-as-disaster climax. It’s all spanked along by one of those golly-gee bumptious holiday musical scores."
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
THE PUPPETMAN - Blitz//Berlin
"Christensen uses the film’s first half to mark a series of strange occurrences. For weeks, Michal has been sleepwalking and scratching wrists to the point of drawing blood. Her roommate, Charlie, doesn’t bother to get help; she records it. Alarms sound, however, when one of Michal’s friends also seizes up before mindlessly throwing themselves off a roof. Was it suicide, or was an evil force somehow connected to Michal? The friends take a normal course; they approach a psychic who tells them of a Satanic cult that might be involved. These narrative machinations are enough to catapult the film to its inevitable freakout without much effort, relying on a tepid mood set by a rote score and creaky compositions."
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
THE SACRIFICE GAME - Mario Sevigny
"Directed and co-written by 'The Ranger''s Jenn Wexler, 'The Sacrifice Game' works as well as it does because of the fairly restrained ambitions of its plot, and how cleanly it executes them. The film is nastier than I ever would have anticipated: Flesh tears, blood gushes and pools, fingers depart ways with their hands. It’s not particularly gratuitous, just more visceral than I would have expected from a film that otherwise has the visual sheen of a higher-budget series, and a score which often sounds like it’s doing an overpowering, Hans Zimmer x Christopher Nolan thing. Aside from Levine, who admittedly gives off Disney Channel vibes, the performances range from fine enough to actually kind of great. Particularly, newcomer Acken is a disarmingly confident and threatening presence. In an unsettling scene, Clara strips to her underclothes and reveals a series of horrific torso scars to Grant, which she then forces Grant to touch. Intentionally disquieting, Acken captures the truth of her character with the ease of a seasoned performer."
Brianna Zigler, Paste Magazine
SANTOSH - Luisa Gerstein
"After finding the teenager’s phone, Santosh and Sharma focus their attention on locating the young man Devika had been texting right before her death. The facts of the case take a backseat to the adrenaline rush of having a real lead. Suri’s direction, already confident from the opening moments, is deft as the film shifts to match the increasingly frenzied mood. Lennert Hillege’s cinematography casts aside the observational, almost documentary approach for more feverish and claustrophobic camerawork. As Santosh closes in on the suspect, who has absconded for another town, Suri’s film embraces the nail-biting aesthetics -- dark and shadowy locales, heart-racing music -- of a classic procedural."
Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter
A STILL SMALL VOICE - Ziki Hexum
"When Ziki Hexum’s score begins its woodwind lament over the closing credits of 'A Still Small Voice,' it’s a kind of sigh, a letting go. For the preceding 90 minutes we’ve been invited into intimate, searching conversations and profound silences in the offices and inpatient rooms of a New York hospital. Within the discussions observed by filmmaker Luke Lorentzen, it’s hard to find a comment that isn’t packed with complex questions and spiritual longing as humans grapple with the intertwined journeys of body and soul."
Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
