The Sound of 007 (2022)

Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating

Pull back the curtain on the remarkable history of six decades of James Bond music, from Sean Connery’s Dr No through to Daniel Craig’s final outing in No Time to Die.

The Quartile Take

A well-assembled music documentary covering six decades of Bond soundtracks with strong archival material and interviews, but fairly conventional in its talking-heads documentary format. The subject matter is inherently fascinating and the music speaks for itself, but the filmmaking approach is standard BBC-style documentary fare. Acting scores low as it's a documentary relying on interview subjects rather than performers. The ending wraps up neatly but without particular distinction, and the cinematography is serviceable rather than inspired.
