"Unfortunately I live in a town that doesn't get a lot of limited release films, I didnt catch this one in theaters. So I have no idea if the music and the film go well together. But that aside I think this soundtrack is actually quite lovely, which was a bit of a suprise as I did not know what kind of style to expect. What you get here is a deceptively simple and intamate score where each song seems to desolve into the next. creating a sort of waking dreamscape. It's whimsical without being overly sweet, quirky in all the right ways. With an intriguing mixture of shadow and brightness that is not overwhelming in either direction. Christopher Beck has acheived a child like sensibilty with out seeming heavy handed or forced. so that what you end up with is music to take a mental vacation to. Really I mean just press play and drift to your happy place. Some of the cues very short but you don't really notice. I truely think this soundtrack is somthing special.
