Along the way, some treasure is mined from the film's numerous speakers, all of whom seemed happily enamored with their work. Jul 12, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

"Score" does leave you with a real respect for these people, and their tireless search for ways to turn emotion into sound. An honest appreciation for their literally invisible work. And a determination, I hope, to go out and buy some of it ... Jun 16, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

This is a movie that is too frenetic and basic to make a substantial impression. I appreciated a kernel of observation here and there, but not enough for me to give it a whole-hearted embrace. Jun 16, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

That said, Score serves well as an introduction to the meticulous process by which soundtracks are created, and includes numerous case studies that reveal just how music contrives to shape our movie-going experiences. Apr 9, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Anyone whose interest runs deeper than humming the Darth Vader march will delight at the sheer who's who lined up for this tantalising insight into an art form that leading light Hans Zimmer reminds us keeps the world's studio orchestras in work. Apr 4, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It would take someone with ears of cloth and a heart of stone not to start fishing out some of the old soundtracks to enjoy them anew. Apr 3, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Whilst the film assumes its audience isn't stupid, it doesn't stray into hard-core audiophile territory either and it is all the stronger for it. This is an absolute must for fans of the medium. Mar 26, 2018 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…

Schrader has done the world of cinephiles a real service by bringing these good folks together into one movie; we are privileged to learn from them. Jan 25, 2018 | Full Review…

What a shame to see such a simplistic and forgettable discussion about the subject, considering all the history and evolution of music in films, while the movie also focuses way too much on American Cinema, spending even half an hour of pure hagiography on John Williams.
