Stop Making Sense in 4K UHD delivers a visually stunning upgrade with its HEVC/H.265 encoded 2160p transfer in 1.85:1, enhanced by Dolby Vision and HDR10. The restoration from the original negative significantly improves detail, reduces grain issues, and accurately represents the cinematographer's unique lighting schemes.

Audio: 94

Though the release of 'Stop Making Sense' impresses with its immersive Dolby Atmos remix, audiophiles might be disappointed that the original stereo mix is only offered in Dolby Digital 2.0 instead of LPCM 2.0. However, despite some minor technical glitches, the Atmos track stands out, delivering wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling audio impact.

Extra: 88

The 4K UHD Blu-ray of 'Stop Making Sense' balances excellent new features, including two extended cuts with restored footage and a remixed Jonathan Demme commentary, but omits some extras from past releases; the set is packaged in A24's signature oversized, fabric-covered slipbox, and offers both Dolby Atmos and stereo audio options.

Movie: 97

"Stop Making Sense" shines in this 4K UHD Blu Ray release, boasting meticulously restored visuals and immersive Atmos audio. Directed by Jonathan Demme, the concert film captures the essence of the Talking Heads' peak era, now complemented by behind-the-scenes material and a collector's edition mediabook.
