Mar 23, 2015No doubts about this: Short Movie is a masterpiece.
-
Apr 7, 2015It’s Marling’s sense of immediacy that makes Short Movie so evocative.
-
Mar 16, 2015This is Marling at her finest, but as she’s proved five times in a row, the best is always yet to come.
-
Mar 9, 2015Short Movie stretches its cohesive motifs through all thirteen tracks, without sticking to a plot or forced narrative structure. Instead, the themes of self-reflection and search for belonging and identity move you wantonly through the album.
-
Mar 19, 2015Short Movie feels like the work of someone who’s going to be around for a long time.
-
Mar 27, 2015The new developments in sound and style of Marling's fifth album--and the way her leading-lady status continues to evolve--leave it as her most captivating yet. Just watch the movie and don't worry too much about the run time.

Mar 18, 2015Too much of the record lacks that song's percussive drive; all the pretty singing and unhurried tempos start to blend into a tepid listen, and the experimental near-spoken-word turn on Strange is just, well, strange.
