      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Another minimalist and abstract offering from Angela Schanelec, Music is the type of art that requires surrendering impatience and logic to feel the beat.

      Pat Brown Slant Magazine 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. Rated: 3/4 Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Some will find it rewarding and some won’t; I myself am unsure. But as an event and a spur to thought it is to be welcomed. Rated: 3/5 Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Marina Ashioti Little White Lies To decipher and derive meaning from a film this dense and obtuse is a Herculean task that only becomes easier when looking at it less a standalone feature, but rather as a fascinating addition to the filmmaker’s body of work. Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Mariona Borrull Fotogramas With Music, Angela Schanelec tames entrenched aesthetic and narrative conventions to turn tragedy into caress and challenge into pleasure. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/5 May 1, 2024 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) Full of eternal silences, with disconnected actions and ellipses that are more complicated than complex throughout four indecipherable decades, Music takes off with five tedious minutes surrounding a car accident. [Full review in Spanish] May 1, 2024 Full Review Carlota Mosegui Cinemanía (Spain) Angela Schanelec creates a contemporary version of one of the best-known classical Greek myths, though she adds a hopeful message at the end of her feature.
