Netflix’s six-part docu-series “Harry & Meghan” puts the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at the center of their story.
The limited series details the couple’s relationship, from their first impressions of one another to the growth of their family. However, throughout the six hours, composer Gil Talmi revealed to Variety, he composed over four hours (approximately 260 minutes) of music to embrace the regal and historical elements of the Duke’s past and current challenges.
“Naturally, the subject of the royalty and the monarchy lends itself to the classical background, with a lot of neoclassical piano, strings and orchestra.” The composer detailed how he combined the Duke’s past and present through the incorporation of darker electronics and modular and analog synths, all in an effort “to help convey the challenges and darker undercurrents that [Harry and Meghan] have been facing.”
Talmi’s research extended further than the subjects themselves, the composer...

This review originally ran June 12, 2022, for the film’s Tribeca Festival premiere.
Despite its title, Cynthia Lowen’s “Battleground” takes an unexpectedly restrained approach to the eternally volatile issue of abortion.
Indeed, were it not for the occasionally ominous notes of Gil Talmi’s score and the closing plea to “get organized” by visiting the film’s website, one could easily view Lowen’s project as entirely even-handed. This is neither a criticism nor a compliment, but the fact that it could be taken as either is just one more indication of the cavernous divide she records.
Her primary intent is to show in unambiguous terms how anti-choice activists patiently seeded and then victoriously harvested what we now know to be tremendous political success. The footage she’s assembled, which has been edited effectively by Emmy winner Nancy Novack (“When the Levees Broke”), offers a truly eye-opening glimpse into a remarkably focused movement.

Do you really know who has your personal data on the internet? When you take a survey or share information on Facebook, where is it going? Many have never paid it a second thought. The new documentary The Great Hack, about to debut on Netflix this Wednesday, makes the case that this is a national failing. The doc propositions that data rights are a form of human rights, one being taken advantage of at every turn. With some visual flourishes, the work attempts to shock audiences into rising up to demand this new right. The documentary is a look at data exploitation, filtered through the lens of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. That controversy after the 2016 Presidential Election in the United States and the Brexit vote is just part of that dark world. Following David Carroll, as he seeks to find out what the company knows about him and what data of his they actually have,...
