This music is pretty lovely I admit but I wasn't aware of the soundtrack when I saw the movie. Meaning it wasn't intrusive on film or in life. Very pleasant.

A Beautiful, Haunting and Emotional Journey

Ryan Izant | utah | 12/19/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having not seen the movie yet, I'm sure my interpretation of the music will change. The score is beautiful and different than I expected - it's not brooding or as achingly melancholic as the score for 'Atonement,' but there's a delicate quality about the music here. Early tracks play a little more upbeat and almost have a mysterious quality to them, like the track 'Love in Mourmansk." As the story of Benjamin and Daisy unfolds, the music grows more complex and sad - in parallel to the emotional journey that the two lovers go through. Well, I've said enough. It's a beautiful soundtrack, there are many great tracks throughout, "Meeting Again" is simply but beautiful track with intricate piano work that I strongly recommend."

Subtle but beautiful

JY04 | Sydney, Australia | 12/22/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"'Sunrise on Lake Pontchartrain', 'Benjamin and Daisy', 'Love in Mourmansk', 'Postcards' and 'Alone at Night' are achingly wistful, exquisite pieces. Such beauty should not be overlooked."
