Review of Score

Score (2016)
9/10
Really entertaining AND informative
7 May 2017
Fair disclosure: I'm a Kickstarter backer and I know one of the filmmakers. Having said that, I love movies and I've always been into the music that makes them tick, and this gets into the nitty gritty of how movie scores came to be and how they have evolved over the years. The interviews with many big-name composers are fascinating in that we learn about how they do what they do, how they work with directors and orchestras, and in many cases, how they went from what they used to do to scoring movies. It's a quick and breezy and uber-interesting 90 minutes that includes people and scores you'd expect and some you probably wouldn't, but are happy to see. There are one or two places where the music is a bit louder than the spoken word, and there are a couple instances where it would be really great to see the scores, while they're being orchestrated, in context of the movies they become part of. But I quibble. Everything here is right up my alley and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
