About
You’ll probably enjoy Score if you love film scores and want to hear directly from top composers; Not for you if you want a longer, deeply balanced history or a more tightly structured argument, like you might find in Western Stars or Muscle Shoals.
Pros: great film-music focus; strong composer interviews; memorable soundtrack moments | Cons: feels unfocused at times; too brief for depth; skips some eras
