How to choose

What to look for in music films

Music films live on performance. Concert footage, biopics and musicals all depend on how honestly the camera captures a voice, and on whether the soundtrack earns its place in the story.

Check how much of the music is live or newly recorded, and who composed the score. The composer is listed in the crew section of each film page.

Where to start: Choose by the music you already like. A great soundtrack for your taste lifts a good film.
