Score Cue Snapshots! • Drama, Music, Mystery, Romance, 19-Jan-2022
There is absolutely something exquisite about this score by Thomas Newman. It's the combination of solo violin, sweeping melodies combined with subtle melancholy that captures your emotion.
The score was nominated for an Academy Award, and we feel, is one of Newman's best scores. Enjoy!
