It drags for a little while in the middle, when you're not sure if the movie is going anywhere.Cinematography:
Special effects/design:
I'm giving points here and in the cinematography category for Hogancamp's work. Malmberg didn't do anything visual.Acting: n/a
Music:
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good,
). Fascinating. Not well made on the technical side, but the story is told well, and it's a story worth telling.Objective Rating (Average):
What does mostly non-original music mean?
ReplyDeleteThat's my short-hand for saying that, in addition to the original score, a significant amount of the music is made up of pre-existing recordings. In this case, popular songs from the 1940s are used, and the original score has a relatively smaller role.
