Sleuth

There was a lot of repetition, and little feeling of dramatic tension that would be required by the script of the film, or stage play.

While I do admire Patrick Doyle very much, this score isn't one of his best. It's actually a theme and variations piece - you hear the same four-chord A minor pattern over and over in several incarnations. This makes the music sound more like a Philip Glass composition. It does wear thin after a while. They also could have left the voices-overs out from the track 'I'm not a Hairdresser.' What the points are for is the quality of the recording itself (excellent) and the fact that Doyle even attempted a theme and variations score. I usually don't like drums mixed in with orchestral readings, but here it is appropriately used. Actually, it's necessary here, if anything to break up the monotony and general sameness of the musics. Someday I'm sure Patrick Doyle will write a full symphony or orchestral suite of some kind. He has the talent and time. This score must surely have been written in one day. It sounds like it.

There are a few composers working today, that can almost never fail. Their style, their way of writing takes them and the listener to special places each time they travel on the wings of music. No matter what the genre,no matter what the story is, Patrick Doyle always delivers. He triumphs this time too, and it's pure joy to listen to his latest composition.The melodies are sweet, tender, emotional, never too much, and always interesting.I wonder when this master of film music will earn his longtime necessary Oscar, because Doyle is, no doubt about it, one of the best film music composers around.

Patrick Doyle, the genius behind the music for all but two of Kenneth Branagh's films, has done it again, though this time the movie itself is mediocre, and not at all what I have come to expect from Mr. Branagh, but it's a good effort, at best. The score, however, is terrific. My favourite track is "Too Much Sleuth."

I live in Korea.I love Jude Law very much, so I watched movie 'Sleuth'.It is a very good movie.In addition, musics in movie impressed me.I really wanted to buty this OST, but there isn't in Korea.So, I decied to purchas this in Amazon.com thought expensive price.I am listening the music now. Awesome!

si on aime le film.(un chef d'oeuvre tout en finesse psychologique)La musique à elle seule raconte une histoire.très bonne qualité d'écoute, on aimerait qu'elle dure plus longtemps.peut servir de musique d'ambiance.
