5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars ( ...and that missing song), May 29, 2007

By	Matthew Fleming "matthewf3" (macomb, mi United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This soundtrack is great and important to the film. After seeing the film I knew I had to have the soundtrack but when I listend I noticed that a very important song was missing called Lover's Spit. From the scene on the couch. This version is sung by Feist and can be found on Broken Social Scenes EP cd called Bee Hives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack to a terrific film, November 22, 2006

By	Marco Panajon (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews

Wow, I can't believe no one has reviewed this yet... Anyway, I'd rank the Half Nelson soundtrack as one of the better soundtracks of 2006. Marie Antoinette's post-punk may be all the rage in the airwaves now, but Half Nelson puts in more work in mixing both indie rock and hip-hop in the same album. Crazy! Tracks worth listening to here include Billy Bragg's "New England"; The Marshall Tucker Band's bluesy "Can't You See?"; Rhymefest's "Wanted"; and of course, Broken Social Scene (whose tunes pretty much carry the entire film).

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Classic for the Intellectual, June 13, 2007

By	Tracy L. Soffa - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie is outstanding - in the same realm as Requiem for a Dream. As a teacher myself, this movie captured difficult emotions/struggles of teachers never truly portrayed/addressed in any movies about the classroom atmosphere. Ryan Gosling should have won the Academy Award for his performance. Powerful scenes and incredible acting stays with you for days. The soundtrack is brilliant too. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
