It’s rather John Barry in style, I think.

Hm. I didn’t hear much Barry in there, particularly hisconcise and memorable tunes.

A little bit of the broad Morricone, which Zimmer has always expressed affection for.

That might be.

I don’t want to be unfair. I guess, it’s a fine and skillful score by a pro. Nothing that really hooks me. But still above the average minimalistic melancholic meandering string soundscapes that accompany so many modern historic family dramas.

I mentioned the brass and these classical piano sprinkles here and there that I find quite nice. Little to nothing of the things that I usually dislike about Zimmer’s music (I only mentioned the Richard Clayderman part).

Still, if this is as good as it gets, it doesn’t get me really on board.

I would take any orchestral Dario Marianelli or Philippe Rombi score over this any time.
