In 1993, the documentary “Visions of Light” won critical love for its overview of Hollywood’s classic cinematographers. Matt Schrader’s tidy and informative “Score” lavishes similar adoration on moviedom’s great composers. Read full review

Score’s charms are many, offering an appealing portrait of an aspect of cinema that sometimes doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves. Read full review

Saw at film festival. Glad to have film that shows growing importance of music/score to film-watching experience over past few decades. Interviews with some of the greats IN the scoring studio. Loved it.
