Passionate and evocative string score by Mark Wallace (November 6, 2002)
This is a very emotional string based score from a film about a little boy who is the subject of a custody battle in 1950s Australia. The main theme is especially notable; disparate swirling violin figures which draw together and culminate into a graceful, but forceful, statement of the main musical theme. A score that is not afraid to use phrasing to make it's point - a rarity in modern film music.
