Critical reception
[edit]Mark Kermode of The Guardian wrote "Dickon Hinchliffe’s musical cues are beautifully sparse, consisting mostly of polytonal drones (rather than melodies), interspersed by song".[6] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair called it as an "aching score".[7] Diane Carson of KDHX wrote "Dickon Hinchliffe's music seldom interprets the mood, but when it does, tension increases exponentially."[8] David Ehrlich of IndieWire called it "minimalistic".[9] Jon Frosch of The Hollywood Reporter and Peter Debruge of Variety called it a "moving score".[10][11]
