DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
FATHER STU - Dickon Hinchliffe
"Solid, non-flashy work from production designer David Meyer abets the movie’s blue-collar sensibilities. Meanwhile, a well-curated selection of songs from Glen Campbell, Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings, and Conway Twitty, among others, give 'Father Stu' a further rooted sense of character, even if its score, from composer Dickon Hinchliffe, expresses dolefulness with all the aplomb of an anonymous, hastily grabbed condolence card."
Brent Simon, The Onion AV Club
"Illustrating the worst of Ross’ artistic instincts are the trite score (by Dickon Hinchcliffe, 'The Lost Daughter') and the insertion of a couple of touches of magical realism -- the Virgin Mary and a vagabond that could presumably be Jesus reveal themselves to Stuart right before or immediately after the accident, prompting him to leave his sinful lifestyle behind."
Carlos Aguilar, The Wrap
MEMORY - Rupert Parkes (aka Photek)
"Not that Campbell is making an effort to elevate the material, either; between the flat, airless cinematography (by David Tattersall, 'The Protégé'), Photek’s generic and on-the-nose score, and even the title cards and credits (which appear to have been created on fair-use software), 'Memory' often feels more like a direct-to-video threequel than an actual movie."
Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR - Alex G
"Aesthetically congruent, 'World’s Fair' exists mostly in static screens or hand-held footage from Casey’s POV given raw believability under cinematographer Daniel Patrick Carbone (the director behind 'Hide Your Smiling Faces'). Meanwhile, Alex G’s melancholic guitar-centric score hypnotizes by layering unnerving and soothing elements."
Carlos Aguilar, Los Angeles Times
"The music, scored by indie artist Alex G, is slow and melancholy. The sound adds gravity to every scene. Coupled with the slow, deliberate pace of the film, it pushes us as to sit with Casey and witness every small detail of her emotion. Cobb’s face is a canvas for a world of yearning that can’t fully be revealed to us because she doesn’t have the language to articulate it yet. That truth allows the film to feel both specific and universal at the same time. We all are seen and unseen simultaneously; there is no way to reveal the entirety of our souls, not even when we stare directly into the camera wanting desperately to be understood."
Jourdain Searles, The Hollywood Reporter
