![]() ![]() The score to Dough is a nice little ride that focuses on character and emotion. You could definitely call the music heartwarming as it has this nice enveloping yet intimate feel to it. You feel close to the characters and the world they live in. The music doesn’t comment on the comedy aspect of the film and plays directly to the characters, this gives us a nice journey with a satisfying conclusion at the end. The score is a short 25 minutes, but it never feels incomplete. The music compliments the movie itself very nicely only adding score when it’s needed. I feel like if the score pushed any harder it could have fallen into schmaltzy or saccharine territory, but thankfully Lorne has that intuition that makes him a great storyteller. In the end this is not a complex or game-changing score, but it’s a really nice one. It was such a pleasure from start to end and well worth revisiting to get lost in those nice melodies and character moments. Dough continues Lorne’s unique filmography that is establishing him as one of the most versatile and interesting composers working today. |
