Editorial Reviews

Accompanying the films remarkable story of Philomenas extraordinary search for her long lost son, is composer Alexandre Desplats emotionally riveting score which evokes the compelling narrative of human love and loss that ultimately celebrates life, showing that there is laughter even in the darkest places. Desplats wide usage of instruments gives the film its emotional resonance with both enchantment and a beautifully touching heart.

Alexandre Desplats score runs a wide spectrum of poignant and dramatic tones, perfectly complimenting the films touching story of a quest filled with laughter and joy that is often underpinned by sadness. The original motion score for Philomena marks the latest collaboration between Desplat and director Stephen Frears, with Desplat having previously created the score for Frears 2006 Academy-nominated film The Queen.

One of the most sought-after composers in the film industry, Paris-born Alexandre Desplat is astonishingly prolific, with almost 150 titles to his credit. He has been Oscar-nominated five times in the past seven years, for Argo, The Kings Speech, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Queen. Other recent credits include Zero Dark Thirty, Renoir, Reality, Rust and Bone, Moonrise Kingdom, A Prophet, and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. His previous collaborations with Stephen Frears include The Queen, Tamara Drewe and Cheri. Desplat has also been nominated for a Golden Globe multiple times, having won in 2007 for his score on the film The Painted Veil as well as being a five-time Grammy nominee, having won Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for The Kings Speech in 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like other soundtrack composers
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2015

A. Desplat has been writing some remarkable soundtracks of late, e.g., Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, etc. Like other soundtrack composers, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Randy Edelman, it is a pleasure to listen to. His gentle, playful style is in striking to contrast to many bombastic soundtracks that offer little in the way of substance - other than noise.

The soundtrack was true to the movie. The movie had all ranges of emotions, anger, joy, pain, peace and forgiveness and you could hear and feel them all in Mr. Desplat music. Just really nice to listen too!

As well as loving this movie, I love the music in it just as much. Nice to have this soundtrack playing in the background whenever I want to hear it. Arrived in a timely fashion and in one piece as well!

On retrouve sur l'album toutes les musiques, certaines gaies et d'autres tristes qui accompagnent Philoména dans sa recherche d'enfant ; la musique épouse parfaitement l'état d'esprit de l'héroïne et c'est un plaisir d'écouter et de ré-écouter cet album.

This isn't my favourite Alexandre Desplat, but all his soundtracks are wonderful. I haven't seen the film, and yet from the music I can almost see what is happening. Beautiful and uplifting.
