Just saw it. Loved it !
The jazz stuff Jon Batiste did balanced accessible and improvisational, plus hinting at what he would have listened to, which is impressive
As for the Trent Reznor and co-composer, that’s a really challenging thing to do, composing music for that situation, a soul leaving its body and finding itself in its next location. The music has to be ethereal, and how it is coloured additionally has to support something that everyone watching basically has to imagine and visualize, and feel correct emotionally
I have loved movies that in my view co-star music - loved Sweet and Lowdown , that is a great example where Howard Alden created for the character a Django Reinhardt era gypsy jazz guitarist with a unique sound
Soul is a tremendous achievement. Music aside, they created a narrative for creation, development and maturation, and progression of souls, which involves some embracing of imagination on the part of the viewer.
I wonder how many people will appreciate it for what it is. It is one of those movies that can inspire conversation, and where music that simply seems to fit actually checks a lot of boxes
