Death & Taxes Review, November 11, 2009
This review is from: The Way We Get By (Audio CD)
"Death+Taxes loves a good underdog story. The Way We Get By and its accompanying soundtrack is the underdog story of the year.
The film began as a home-grown documentary about a group of seniors in Bangor, Maine whose lives are enriched through dedication to a specific act of service: greeting troops on their way out and way home from service. The New York Times called it, "unfailingly modest and profoundly humane."
But the heart and soul of this movie is the soundtrack. Written by breakout Zack Martin, these songs are profoundly humane, and unfailingly modest. Usually soundtracks are an extra add-on or gimmick -- maybe something worth picking up as a collector's item for your favorite movie. It's rare that a soundtrack stands on its own - Singles, Pump Up The Volume. This is another one. Not only do Martin's songs and score stand alone, but they carry the profound emotional depth of film." ~Death & Taxes
