I don’t have much for any of these scores, if I’m honest. A disappointing bunch of nonsense.

I have a small candle for Ludwig Goransson, just because he fairly consistently pushes into a musical language based on experimentation. And there is far too little of that these days. Also, I’m a guitarist 🙂

Alexandre Desplat is such an uneven composer. His big budget movie scores might be his worst. To have recently scored the reboot of Jurassic Park, and this Frankenstein is nice for the wallet, but give me The Piano Teacher any day. I miss his more measured scores like Birth, L’Odyssey and the Isle of Dogs, Operation Finale etc. There was a moment when it seemed he might become the new John Williams, but I think he has already failed that test.
