7.5/10

dir. Pedro Almodóvar

The 4K only exists as part of the 11-film Sony Pictures Classics 30th Anniversary Collection. No standalone release is on the schedule, so anyone who just wants Volver has to buy the whole box. It's a native 4K with Dolby Vision, and the Dolby Vision grade has been singled out for how it handles Almodóvar's reds.

SLC Punk(1998)

7.3/10

dir. James Merendino

A-Tier

Sony replaced one of the songs at a party scene due to licensing issues, swapping the Suicide Machines track for something generic. Collectors noticed because the song is meant to sound like it's actually playing at the party, so changing it changes the entire feel of the scene. Sony didn't announce the swap, which is typical for major studios. Still locked into the Sony Classics box set for standalone seekers, with eBay copies running around $35 USD.

dir. Wash Westmoreland, Richard Glatzer

A-Tier

Sony A-Tier 4K. Julianne Moore's Alzheimer's performance. No relevant collector mentions, which puts it in the same category as most performance-driven dramas on 4K. It's there if you want it.

The Devil's Backbone(2001)

7.4/10

dir. Guillermo del Toro

A-Tier

Del Toro considers this his most personal film and the companion piece to Pan's Labyrinth. Sony's 4K disc uses a new scan supervised by Guillermo Navarro, and the amber-toned Spanish Civil War photography translates well to HDR.
