Dec 5, 2012Greenwood has recorded an eerie yet stunning score, and if Anderson's production is just as aspiring then filmgoers are in for a real treat for the senses.
-
Oct 31, 2012This uneasy listening provides a masterful backdrop for Anderson's film and also makes for fascinating listening in its own right, while once again separating Greenwood from more predictable composers.
-
Oct 31, 2012With rave reviews in Venice, The Master will undoubtedly earn its share of awards, and, if this soundtrack is anything to go by, it deserves to.

MojoNov 21, 2012A smattering of era-appropriate scene-setting standards sit surprisingly snugly amid the bespoke symphonic esoterica--all further testament to greenwood's deep, intrinsic musicality. [Dec 2012, p.88]
-
Oct 31, 2012Greenwood has delivered a score that's both haunting and beautiful, and if Anderson's film is even half as strangely inspired, we're all in for something good.

-
The WireDec 5, 2012Overall, as a listening experience in itself, The Master feels like a retreat. [Nov 2012, p.59]
