In my opinion, the score to this film is superior to the film itself. It's the only motion picture score that truly captures the sweet melancholy of the Fall. Try listening to it with headphones and you'll hear a highly dimensional sound, delicate and subtle. Reflective and spiritual. Just close your eyes and you'll feel the brisk autumn wind against your face, you'll see orange and brown leaves falling from the trees, and you'll hear the sounds of children carving jack o'lanterns. It's a short score, but truly excellent.

The tracks " Visiting Ruth" and "Ghost Train" really make you think about the meaning of the film and what it says. The others add to the real flavor of Southern life which really is a unique characteristic. I love this film - I hope that if you haven't seen it and you do someday, that you will feel the same.

Every song on this soundtrack has so much character. Especially the instrumentals by Thomas Newman!

This is a delightful CD, although not quite as long as I would have hoped. It has a good variety of the soundtrack featured in the movie.

I adore this film-but I adore the soundtrack even more. "Ghost Train" is bone-chillingly beautiful. "Barbeque Bess" and "Cool Down Yonder" both have that soulful, southern sound that I can't seem to find anywhere else, hard as I might try. This is truly a great soundtrack.
