The score is powerful and moving. It left me at once shattered and uplifted.

I won't pretend this is a flawless film, but I couldn't care less. The emotional resonance of this film has stuck with me ever since I was 16 years old. The performances have so much soul to them, complimented by gorgeous production design and maybe my favourite soundtrack of all time. I've seen it 20+ times and I still tear up at the ending.
