"A hilarious, twisted, gorgeous love story between a teenager, Bud Cort, and an old lady, the magnificent Ruth Gordon. Indelibly directed by Hal Ashby, it features one of the best soundtracks ever—all classic Cat Stevens. Still can’t hear “Trouble” without seeing a hearse drive off a cliff."

"Intense soundtracks can feel intrusive and distracting, but these feel like perfect uses of (nice ‘n’ loud!) familiar songs in film. I’m so moved to happiness by the way the characters’ boiling-over thoughts, hopes, and dreams seem to be broadcast out of their internal lives and into this remarkable world created by Wong Kar-wai."

2018 | Biography, History

"How Yorgos Lanthimos sneaked Olivier Messiaen and Luc Ferrari into an Oscar-winning film is one of modern cinema’s greatest mysteries. Mr. Lanthimos doesn’t get enough credit for his soundtracks, which often work brilliantly counter to the proceedings in his films. The use of music in “The Favourite” deserves a whole essay in itself. The acting isn’t bad, either."

One of Danny Boyle's Best
Danny Boyle is one of those directors that can rarely do wrong, and he really excels here with this beautiful sci-fi. It's well acted and has a fantastic cast, the effects are brilliant and it's a really interesting plot. The soundtrack by John Murphy is probably one of my all time favourite soundtracks, so haunting and memorable.

Album Rating
Rolling Stone's 96th greatest album of all time
Definitely a soundtrack album and not so much an album in its own right. Pinball Wizard is obviously the standout track, by quite some distance. I struggle with a lot of concept albums/soundtracks as trying to force a story into a song tends to result in not that good a song.
