I saw the movie yesterday as it was released on the 2nd February here in Poland. I went to the cinema specifically to listen to Newman's score but the story captivated me extremely. It's a beautiful but sad tale, it hits all the right notes for a drama movie and, at times, it was so absorbing that I was forgetting to focus on the music primarily.
So now to the score.
Many (including me) will be happy to learn that the score is basically Tokien meets Shawshank Redemption with some flavors of 1917. There are a few outstanding cues. There's one playing towards the end of the first act that has solo guitar, there's one with trumpet solo as well and a nice piano piece featuring in the end crawler (it was an immediate earworm for me). There are vocals used throughout but in a way that I've never heard in a Newman's score. Overall, the score is the usual Newmanian warm strings plus heavily utilized clarinet - but it's not a bad thing, it's fresh and very emotional music. Newman was a perfect choice to score this movie.
There was about 50-60% music in the movie which totals to ~70 minutes of the score excluding source cues and songs. I was able to record (part of) the end credits music with my phone so if anyone is interested in a small preview just shoot me a PM.
This sounds really promising, shame we have to wait until October to hear it! I tried to send a PM but couldn't get it to work, so if you could send me one, I'd love to hear the snippet.
