Score Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Devan Coggan
Score finally gives film composers their due with a documentary that's part geeky history lesson, part tribute to some of the greatest musical moments in movie history.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Score: A Film Music Documentary is a celebration of the artists who create the musical heartbeat of the movies we love
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
A genial 93-minute dash through the history, process and contemporary practice of film composition.
AV Club
Sean O'Neal
Unfortunately, it aims to be as comprehensive as possible about a subject as old as cinema itself, and as a result ends up feeling both breezy and overlong.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
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.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Along the way, some treasure is mined from the film's numerous speakers, all of whom seemed happily enamored with their work.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Documentary maker Matt Schrader bills this as "the definitive look at the craft of film composing," though he takes a narrow route through the subject, focusing on the symphonic composers who hammer out music cues for big-studio projects.

Leonard Maltin
I would recommend Score: A Film Music Documentary to any and every film buff.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
"Score: A Film Music Documentary" spotlights such a rich and fascinating topic - the craft of motion picture scoring - that its mere presence proves a feast for the eyes and ears.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Tidy and informative ...
Village Voice
Kenji Fujishima
Score may be little more than a superficial primer on a dizzyingly expansive subject, but Schrader offers just enough to satisfy both film-music novices and dyed-in-the-wool fanatics.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Terrifically engaging.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
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.
Hammer to Nail
Jessica Baxter
It's lots of fun revisiting favorite emotional cinematic moments and also noting the vastly different outfits that score orchestra musicians choose to wear to work, from business suits to sweats.
Film Inquiry
Alex Arabian
Schrader delves into film music by merely acting as a fly on the wall, letting the masterminds speak for themselves, creating a non-intrusive film with a pulsating heartbeat.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
If names such as Reznor and Zimmer mean nothing to you, then Score probably isn't for you. But if you're that moviegoer who hangs around during the closing credits to see who helped make the movie, it will be music to your ears.
Nerdist
Scott Weinberg
For plain old movie geeks, however, Score: A Film Music Documentary is nothing short of an absolute delight.
Collider
Matt Goldberg
While those who want a deeper dive into the conflicts and controversies in the field may be left wanting, it will still have you reaching for your favorite scores and eager to learn more about the art of composing for movies.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Composers and experts discuss movie soundtracks in a polished, laid-back documentary.
AwardsCircuit.com
Shane Slater
Delving into the film history and theory behind the music, Schrader crafts a delightful treat for movie fans.
