"The soundtrack is great but if you're looking to find some of the GREAT music (songs by artists) that were played in the film such as
Sun Kil Moon - Carry me Ohio
The notwist - Consequence
Death Cab for Cutie - Sound of Settling
You will not find it on this cd."

Beautiful, but sad

"I find this soundtrack to be very sweet, but much like the movie it is sad and melancholy. A CD to listen to for it's gentle beauty but also if you need a good cry!"
Sad, yet beautiful

"This is my all time favorite original score soundtrack. I call this cd a "night" cd, as I always listen to it when going to bed, or driving home late from work. The music is so beautifully passionate, and yet very sad and haunting. The songs will literally bring you to tears, depedning on what kind of mood you are in. Anyone who is a true lover of music will enjoy this cd as much as I do."
