Music Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Jessica Kiang
Schanelec is unlikely to vastly expand her fanbase here, but the tiny, fervent following she has accrued over the course of now 10 fantastically intricate features may be more than ever entranced by the fertile illogic of "Music"...
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
It's the celebration of a vision Schanelec has meticulously honed over the past three decades, like a late sonata by a composer who has fully come into their voice.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
Initially, more than mere fun, Angela Schanelec's approach to storytelling is surprisingly affecting, but once you've figured out how to play, the game begins to feel a bit, well, ancient.
In Review Online
Daniel Gorman
If the tale of Oedipus is understood as a warning about fate, Schanelec instead seems to be suggesting that we can, in fact, free ourselves from a predetermined path.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
A film inherently more interesting to discuss than it is to consume, especially considering her cast was arguably invited to abstain from conveying realistic emotions, its pleasures lie in the challenge of puzzling together these details and symbols.
Floating World
Dustin Chang
A nearly silent film, simply titled Music, might be the most enigmatic offering from Schanelec. But its depiction of melancholy and fragility of human life is nevertheless so beautiful and timeless, I can't help tearing up by the end.
indieWire
Ben Croll
For Schanelec, every frame is a manifesto - a canvas to initially cover in layers of meaning that must then be peeled back and stripped down until nothing but the most spartan brushstrokes remain
The Film Stage
Leonardo Goi
Music is a beguiling film, one whose steady, exquisitely crafted frames only amplify the strength of emotions thrumming just beneath them.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
A puzzling and frustrating film.
Next Best Picture
Tom O'Brien
Once you let go of your altered expectations and allow Schanelec to take you where she wants to go, "Music" can be a very satisfying ride.
The Movie Buff
Hector A. Gonzalez
When you finish the film, there's an immediate obligation to go back to it again. There will be many gaps in the understanding of what Schanelec wanted to tell.
Vague Visages
Fedor Tot
The rhythms in Music - the shift from one image to the next - make sense in ways that defy obvious explanation, much like the film itself.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
Hope was never something that I associated with Schanelec's typically dour films, yet here, from the darkness of a timeless tragedy emerges light.
Paste Magazine
Natalia Keogan
Those unfamiliar with the director's penchant for narrative opacity might find Music falling on deaf ears. For those up for the challenge, there are splendid moments of visual poise to soak in.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
It is a daring and assured subversion of conventional film language that will likely infuriate certain viewers and reward others.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
In unfurling the story of a boy who becomes a killer, a lover, and a singer, the German director Angela Schanelec continues to move to her own inimitable beat.
Chicago Reader
Soham Gadre
Sophocles's Oedipus Rex inspired this intentional and affecting drama.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
...Schanelec's mostly dialogue free film is simply too nebulous to get a narrative grip on, instead a series of long, slow takes with very somber people where very little happens.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
A candidate for what is now called "slow cinema" or, more aptly, "poetic cinema," "Music" is unique, at times puzzling, and memorable.
Loud and Clear Reviews
William Stottor
A sudden event has far-reaching consequences in Music, this challenging, uneven, and downright confusing Oedipal tragedy.
