From Boomkat:
Sumptuous soundtrack for Another Happy Day, Sam Levinson's 2011 feature about a privileged but severely dysfunctional family, which earned 'best screenplay' at the Sundance festival and rave reviews for Ellen Barkin's central performance. It's classic 21st century soundtrack fare, all tremulous strings and plangent piano themes, accented with discreet post-rock and percussion touches. There are obvious comparisons to be made with the cinematic romanticism of Max Richter, Michael Nyman et al, but Arnald's coaxes moments of heart-stopping beauty out of what appear, on first take, to be familiar tropes, particularly on 'Lynn's Theme', which could move a lump of stone to tears, and the crisp, consoling 'The Wait'.
