Original soundtrack from Menno Meyjes film about family sacrifice with John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Sophie Okonedo. Aaron Zigman offers unassuming score for eclectic ensemble emphasizing strings, woodwinds, marimba, harp, keyboards. Brass make minimal appearances but restrained colors prevail. Melodic ideas are harmonically accessible, gently rhythmic. Cues enter, play for short time, give way to others. Aaron Zigman conducts Hollywood Studio Symphony.
