Anyone else think this score has been mastered VERY hot!!
It's SO LOUD!!!
It must be hitting the RED even in the quiet piano passages.
There now seems to be an extreme war going on, with some score releases having the 'sound life' sucked out of them and others hurting your ears with their maximum loudness!!
This CD also has those slight track/edit problems that have plagued previous Velazquez releases.

Spectacular score.
If you can listen to the end title without being moved... no, impossible.

This score does not get enough attention at all.

Discovered this score yesterday. What a wonderful score, easily one of this year's best! A great mix of horror and drama.
After hearing this one, I hope Velázquez reunites with his Mama director on the upcoming It remake/re-adaptation

While this is a lovingly made film with it's heart in the right place, the relentlessly dour, dark and depressing mood makes me wonder who this film will really appeal to on a larger scale.
Way too slow, grim and, at times, scary for (most) kids, who I imagine would prefer some Lego Batman or Pixar hi-jinks, while the giant talking tree and fairytales aspect might deter a lot of adults.
Personally speaking, this is the second film in a row where I've failed to connect with the actress Felicity Jones. There's just some Keira Knightley thing about her that instantly winds me up the minute I see/hear her!
A brave attempt at something a bit more real for kids, but I can't see this catching on with the general public (as it has with the critics) the way something like E.T (of which it resembles in many ways) did.
The music is very nice in places, but not as good as THE ORPHANAGE or THE IMPOSSIBLE imo.

Can´t stop listening to this hauntingly beautiful score.
Should have been an awards contender, definitely.

Film came and went in a week here in central Florida, before I had the chance to see it. Because of the good reviews, I ended up getting the score on spec. I still want to see if I can catch the picture at one of the second-run places around here. Want to see it before I hear the music. (Although, at this rate, it may be out on video before that will happen....)

I saw this film last week at a local small scale movie gala. It’s a beautiful and emotional tale for sure but won’t attract larger audiences because of the devastating subject matter. I did find the psychological aspects of the story interesting due to my occupation.
The score worked well in the context and it was wonderfully understated and respectful, not overstating the emotion. The film also knew which moments to leave unscored. I have to listen to the score on its own to see how it stands out outside the picture. For now I feel that it needed a bit more punch or stronger themes but it’s a beautiful piece of music nevertheless.

Played this again today.
The first half of the disc is a bit hit and miss with me.
It really starts to connect with me emotionally from track 9 onwards (Home Alone/Dad Arrives).
The main theme is a real grower. Pure unashamed Delerue-like tragedy and wistfulness.
I actually prefer the Montage track WITH the dialogue excerpts (track 20, added as a bonus). Seems to pack even more of an emotional punch.
The film version of the Keane song is quite nice too.

I'll give it a listen tonight...it was beautiful and evocative in the (excellent) movie.
