Synopsis

Daniel is schoolmaster of a kindergarten in a small French town. The local economy, which depended entirely on coal production, has been mired in a depression ever since the mines were closed. When their parents fall into utter discouragement or even poverty because of prolonged unemployment, the children suffer the consequences. Daniel is confronted daily with difficult situations and he feels responsible to deal with them although they are outside the scope of his responsibilities. This is a frustrating task: politicians are concerned with tightening their budgets, bureaucrats in the intricate web of French social and educational services with their prerogatives, utility companies with getting their bills paid; teachers, social workers, and policemen are overwhelmed. Daniel's relations with his parents, but also with Valeria, his fiancée, and her son are not entirely smooth either. He nevertheless soldiers on with the staff of the kindergarten, all doing their best to educate the children of a severely disrupted society.

One of the negative aspects of the soundtrack of It All Starts Today is its lack of emotional depth. While the film portrays the struggles of a small French town grappling with economic depression, the music fails to effectively convey the raw emotions and hardships faced by the characters. The soundtrack feels detached and uninspired, missing an opportunity to enhance the storytelling with poignant musical cues.

8/10

The music in It All Starts Today serves as a powerful storytelling tool, effectively enhancing the film's themes of social injustice, personal responsibility, and resilience in the face of adversity.

Nancy Clark
4/10

Another issue with the film's soundtrack is its repetitive nature. The same musical motifs and themes are used throughout the movie, leading to a sense of monotony and predictability. Instead of adding variety and nuance to different scenes, the music becomes a background noise that fails to engage the audience or create a lasting impact. This lack of originality and creativity in the soundtrack detracts from the overall viewing experience and diminishes the emotional impact of the film's narrative.

Charles Hall
8/10

Overall, the soundtrack of It All Starts Today is a poignant and moving musical accompaniment that elevates the film's narrative and emotional impact.
