DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE - Danny Elfman
"After an atmospheric opening title sequence that replicates the original and reminds us why Elfman is the gothic circus-master’s musical alter-ego, the film plunges us into a recording of Lydia’s TV show: 'Ghost House.' Since the death of her first husband, Astrid’s father, she has been using her talent for seeing ghosts to host a paranormal TV show, amassing both a living and a slimy boyfriend-manager Rory (Justin Theroux). Lydia’s studio interview with a wide-eyed couple clasping a tiny dog named Taco is intercut with green-hued, chaotically shot 'verite' footage of Lydia visiting their possessed property. Here Taco is found spinning on a ceiling fan’s rotor blade."
Sophie Monks Kaufman, IndieWire
"There’s a house, on a street, in a town, next to a river -- or is it a model of a house, on a street, in a town, next to a river? Is this model a recreation of something real, or a ghostly apparition in itself? Are we driving down this street, suspended above a replica, or floating through something else altogether? These are the questions provoked in the opening moments of Tim Burton’s 'Beetlejuice' and mirrored in the first scene of the sequel, 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.' In both cases, Danny Elfman’s brassy score bellows as white picket fences blur past. Vintage shops fade into garages, which fade into churchyards; a quaint picture of America. Much like the 1988 movie, though, 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' barely touches those early world-building questions. Instead, it is intent on toppling this suburban dreamscape to play among the beams of its rotted foundation."
Anna McKibbin, AV Club
"I don’t mean to overpraise 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' which is really just a better-than-expected legacy sequel with its heart in the right place. But with the strong craft contributions of past Burton collaborators like costume designer Colleen Atwood and production designer Mark Scruton -- and thanks to a zippy score by Burton’s near-constant collaborator Danny Elfman, who has only ever not scored three Burton features -- Burton seems, for the first time in a long time, to be truly enjoying himself behind the camera. Also key to the film’s success are the performances from comic actors as top-notch as Keaton, who invests his repellent ghoul with an anarchic charisma all his own, and the always brilliant Catherine O’Hara, whose every other line reading got an audible laugh at the advance screening I attended. That screening was attended by a number of young fans in full Beetlejuice cosplay: Lydias in long black coats and zig-zag bangs, Beetlejuices in neon-green fright wigs and zebra-striped suits, corpses in varying states of decay. That a 36-year-old movie can still inspire that degree of audience investment from viewers not yet born when it came out is enough to make you believe in sequels again -- or at least to make you welcome the return of some good Tim Burton, just in time for spooky season."
Dana Stevens, Slate.com
"As a result, it’s one of those sequels that spends a lot of time looking back. The film opens with the tingle of Danny Elfman’s jumpy ghost music, along with another flyover shot of the picturesque town of Winter River, Connecticut, where Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz, the former goth teen who interfaced with the spirit world, is now a psychic mediator who hosts her own hunt-for-the-paranormal television show entitled “Ghost House.'"
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"I sparked up and began to realize I was in good hands as soon as the spooky echo of Summer’s disco 'MacArthur Park' cover segued to the first notes of a score by Danny Elfman, which starts in ominous mode and grows more devilishly jaunty as ace DP Haris Zambarloukos’ camera cruises through the sleepy town of Winter River and arrives at the hilltop haunted house purchased by the Deetz family in 'Beetlejuice.' The movie’s pleasures extend to Zambarloukos’ dynamic visuals and Elfman’s score, which has all the qualities of his collaborative peak with Burton plus distinctive new flavors. Another frequent collaborator, costume designer Colleen Atwood, does striking work for characters on both sides of the mortality divide, while production designer Mark Scruton has a ball creating a whole new network of afterlife antechambers, admin offices and departure terminals."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
CARPET COWBOYS - Kara-Lis Coverdale
"The town of Dalton is recognized as 'The Carpet Capitol of the World,' and once upon a time it was filled with carpet industry millionaires who paved the floor of the world’s casinos and office buildings, palaces and homes, and especially shopping malls, with all manner of eye straining designs and color. This was the Seventies and Eighties, and what comes up invariably comes down, so in the Dalton of the here and now, the carpet companies have mostly been snapped up by two or three large corporations, where much of the town is employed. The film casts a hypnotic power between the shots of the massive machinery in the manufactories, the parade of employees stress testing carpets by walking on them 20,000 times (takes about two weeks), with the archetypal landmarks of the small town: boarded up gas stations, parking lots sprinkled with the carapaces of long haul trucks, and the endless stretches of carpet wholesale emporiums, the otherworldly score by Kara-Lis Coverdale rendering a sci-fi quality to it all."
Josh Kupecki, The Austin Chronicle
"Toward the end of 'Carpet Cowboys,' Mackenzie and Collier embrace the western setting the title evokes, filming the sun setting on a beach and over a graveyard. Some characters follow new dreams, while others wistfully remember the old days, haunted by 'echoes of the past.' The film’s industrial-tinged synth score casts a tension between the humanist way MacKenzie and Collier have presented the stories of those who work in Dalton and the coldly efficient way they film the machines that create the product."
Marya E. Gates, RogerEbert.com
MOUNTAINS - Dyani Douze
"The soundtrack by Dyani Douze, at times eerie with woodwinds, at others blistering with Afro-Caribbean drumming, contributes much to the mood of the film. So, too, does the tension between the repetition of routine and the forward momentum of plot. Jim Jarmusch’s 'Paterson' comes to mind in relation to a recurring tableau: At several points we see Xavier, returning from work in the afternoons, carefully maneuver his pickup truck into the family’s narrow parking lot. At the same time, a local fixture of the neighborhood strolls down the sidewalk, gossiping on his cellphone in Haitian Creole. Near the end of the film, the pattern deviates as this talkative fellow is replaced by an advance-guard gentrifier in the form a white girl in yoga gear, walking her guard dog and talking on her cell about stopping by Whole Foods to pick up a rosé."
William Repass, Slant Magazine
MY ANIMAL - Augustus Miller
"These shortcomings might have been surmountable given a more rigorous focus on the inviting and/or potentially threatening details of Heather’s suggestive process of self-discovery. Sometimes, water cascading over the camera lens or visually stretching the world out using a fish-eye lens gives viewers the faint impression of emotions that the filmmakers otherwise rarely tap into. A wan synthesizer score likewise only calls back to more atmospheric movie music. This moody and sparse score is especially frustrating given that it was composed by Augustus Muller of the electronic duo Boy Harsher; the group’s other half, vocalist Jae Matthews, scripted 'My Animal.'"
Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com
"With 'Stranger Things' synth and symbolism that follows suit, 'My Animal' evokes the kind of confused yearning that’s often linked transformative monster stories with young adult lust. But beyond its fur-deep allegory, it emphasizes its director’s ability to create a sense of place and fantasies that sensually stick to your fingertips. This isn’t a scary movie, nor is it a particularly good movie, but once in a blue moon, My Animal can evoke something elemental."
Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine
SKINCARE - Fatima Al Qadiri
"The script is a disaster, starting off mediocre and devolving into an incoherent mess the longer it goes on, with performances that are merely passable. Considering what they were given to work with, you can’t ask for much better in this case. The strongest element of the film is its score, which occasionally gives it some sense of style and mood -- even if, again, the film clearly doesn’t know what that mood is supposed to be. As far as cinematography goes, there are a few impressive shots here and there, though the visuals are nothing to write home about either."
Taylor Gates, Collider
"Peters and co-writers Sam Freilich and Deering Regan aren’t just skewering beauty as an industry. They’re also skewering the lifestyle’s exquisitely polished shellac, which coats the business’ darker dealings with fickle trends, insatiable media cycles and predatory people. Peters displays an assured sense of vision, weaving in character details along with an unsettling atmospheric unease, lightly borrowing from masters like Kubrick (a stalking by an intimidating bald man echoes 'Eyes Wide Shut') and De Palma (during an interrupted break-in at Hope’s house). Hope and Angel’s clashing sensibilities are reflected in the opposing color schemes of their inner sanctums, hers coated in serene light blue and eggshell white, and his in outrageous, youthful dark teal and fuchsia. Fatima Al Qadiri’s score, which ranges from the sort of haunted harp instrumentals you’d expect to hear in a soothing spa to thumping industrial beats, folds in beautifully with the eclectic soundtrack cues."
Courtney Howard, Variety
SUGARCANE - Mali Obomsawin
"For one, it’s immersive and incredibly beautiful, shot like poetry and scored by Mali Obomsawin. The result is both stunning and sobering. And because Kassie and NoiseCat narrow their focus to the stories of St. Joseph’s survivors and their descendants, it’s breathtaking when they widen out to remind us that these stories are not isolated — that people all over North America are living with the repercussions of truth suppressed and violence enacted in the name of love and faith."
Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times
