There’s not a single film or a series where Max Richter’s “On the nature of daylight” didn’t work for me. Climax hit me harder because this musical piece is super special for me. But I also wondered whether the climax would have hit this much harder with an original background music? Maybe or maybe not. This thinking is the only thing I mention as a negative from this gem of a film by Chloe Zhao. Yes, it was masterfully used for a scene but the musical piece being sooo special can sometimes take over me and maybe forcefully made me sad about the scene?? Nonetheless truly moving story and direction that has all the finesse/magical touch of Chloe Zhao that I have always wanted ever since Marvel exploited her unfortunately. She is truly back. Jessie and Paul were magnificent. Jessie might be my winner this year at Oscar. Her best performance according to me.
