My review, upon seeing it in April at the Louisiana Intl. Film Festival: it was wonderful. Not only was it incredibly informative and eye-opening as to the process of what it takes to create music for visual media, but hearing some of those classic themes from Williams, Herrmann, Goldsmith, Horner and others generated the requisite amount of goosebumps as I watched.
The film did a great job in presenting the historical evolution of film scores, but when it got to the present-day, it also reminded me again of how much of today's film scores seem to be made just for sound design and rhythmic repetition; i.e. not having any memorable themes or character motifs.
There are still composers, like Williams and others, who craft great thematic material on a consistent basis. However, it's a shame that many directors these days don't seem to want to have the composers they work with to take that approach.
Nonetheless, I hope that this film will make more people appreciative of the genre and its history (not just people like us), and of what goes into the process of making film music itself. Highly recommended.

My husband and I just watched this on demand. It was wonderful and my very tired husband was riveted from the beginning. I wanted to see more of Thomas Newman and Danny Elfman. I recommend it anyone who has not viewed it.
What do you mean "On Demand"? Can you get it through HBO?

I'm hoping it will become available on the itunes UK store soon as I'm really wanting to see this.

My review of SCORE: A FILM MUSIC DOCUMENTARY, for anyone who's interested:

Respectfully disagree about your complaint about the lack of historical biography.
There have been numerous docs. on Hollywood Golden Age music and individual composers including Goldsmith , Herrmann, Morricone et.al. *
As a fellow film music journalist and historian I was happy to see the focus from a contemporary perspective.
.The filmakers provided just the right balance.

But it's during the OsloPix festival in June. 
but a very good documentary! I'm hoping a blu-ray with bonus interviews is planned.
