Outstanding musical score, perhaps the best I've ever heard


That score they use throughout the film, including at the very end, incredible score.

It's one of my favorite parts of the film. The hurdy gurdy/electric guitar score that plays in the courtroom with the overdub of their final phone call, gives me chills.

One Of The Best Film Scores I heard.
Good Editing too

YES...brilliant, heartwrenching score...particularly the ending scenes.
I've actually looked on eBay and Amazon for it, but have not seen it. If anybody has it, and is willing to sell it to me, P.M. me!

The score was very good and effective, I agree. Also a very different and unexpected sound (a genre of electronica?) for these types of movies, which I like very much.

There's a scene where the camera zooms in on her face while she is sitting in the passenger seat (while she in in a car with another john) and the score beings to intensify and throb maddeningly, and you see Aileen's face wrestling with her conscience and sanity right before the unexpected murder. Sometimes a simple shot with great acting and a score can do all the work needed.

I'm watching it now for the second time. The soundtrack fits great.
