What did you think of The Last Jedi and The Post?
-Erik-
I honestly didn't see Last Jedi before my Deadline (as I suspect many internet critics weren't able to). But I have seen and heard pretty much everything else. I thought the Post was a decent score for a vastly overrated film. It's certainly leagues better than his disappointing work in the awful Force Awakens, but not as good as Book Thief. Score is sparingly used, and there's one really good "hot off the presses" cue. But the film really could have used more music for what's essentially a series of breakfast meetings.

A great read, thanks for covering some I missed this year.
I hope to see more women on your list next year. 
Thanks Ryan. I don't picked based on sex, creed or color. But the talent and music that impressed me the most this year.

Um, I don't think you have to "remind" Daniel about women composers. We all know who Penka Kouneva is... right?
Indeed. Thanks McCurry. So much appreciate you checking out my columns, let alone buying albums based on them. Means a lot!

That being said, The Lovers' beautiful score by Mandy Hoffman is in my top ten. As is Gook by Chinese-American Roger Suen. I'm glad they were given the opportunity!
