Music reviews of An Unfinished Life
Music Review: Gorgeous... a Painting of the World
Rating: 5 Stars
I absolutely LOVE this soundtrack, and can listen to it all night long. Changes something deep inside. Deborah Lurie is one of a very small handful of female soundtrack composers and I consider "An Unfinished Life" to be one of the highest forms of this art.
I cannot find words to express what she has brought forth and given birth to, but this soundtrack gives the film story, our story, shape and form and brings all the words of forgiveness and vitality, longing and life into musical form. She has created and brought to earth the Angels on High... a Painting of the World, as we know it.
Listening to this score, to this song, to this cadence and dance of eternal emotion. God moves us in mysterious ways and Laurie has moved us around and round, up and down. Finally I want to live.
Gloria Hallelujah, Amen.

Deborah Lurie
Early in her musical life composer Deborah Lurie discovered she had a condition called synesthesia, whereby the sound of a note causes her to visualize a certain color. She might be able to tell you what note coincides with green, for she is certain to see much more of that color these days - in the form of money. Lurie recently completed her first studio feature film score for the MGM teen comedy/adventure Sleepover, directed by Joe Nussbaum.
Shortly after graduation from the USC School of Music with the composition department award, Deborah scored Nussbaum's award winning short film George Lucas In Love. In the following years, Deborah scored many independent films and composed additional music for Disney's animated series Hercules, Touchstone's Bubble Boy and Miramax's View From the Top and My Baby's Daddy. Recent original film scores include Whirlygirl (directed by Dances With Wolves producer Jim Wilson) and the upcoming Sony Classics film Imaginary Heroes starring Sigourney Weaver and Jeff Daniels, in which she incorporated a theme by X2 composer John Ottman. In addition to film music, Deborah has worked extensively in rock and pop music as an arranger and producer. She has written string arrangements for rock albums including Hoobastank's 2004 chart topper The Reason. She has also produced, arranged, and composed additional music for the live cabaret show The Pussycat Dolls at The Roxy Theater, which featured guest stars Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, and Christina Applegate, among others.
Description of An Unfinished Life
Set against the rugged ranchlands of Wyoming, "An Unfinished Life" is the story of a modern-day Western family, as stoic as they are divided, learning the true meaning of forgiveness. Robert Redford stars as Einar Gilkyson, a tough-skinned, retired rancher who long ago turned his back on memories. Still in shock from his only son's death a decade ago, Einar has let his ranch fall into ruin, along with his marriage. Now, Einar spends his days caring only for his hired hand, and last trusted friend, Mitch (Morgan Freeman), who was gravely injured in an encounter with a Grizzly Bear. Einar intends to live out his days in this heartbroken solitude . . . until the very person he blames for his son's accident comes to town: his daughter-in-law Jean (Jennifer Lopez). Jean shows up broke, on the run and with a girl named Griff (newcomer Becca Gardner), who she swears is the granddaughter Einar never knew he had. Suddenly, Einar's quiet life is turned upside down as anger and accusations resurface. But slowly, miraculously, 11-year-old Griff's curiosity about Western life, and her longing for family and a father figure, begin to chip away at the stone that has become Einar's heart--opening up the way for unexpected connection, adventure, mercy and true reunion. Lasse Hallstrom ("Cider House Rules," "Chocolat") directs and newcomer Deborah Lurie provides the very beautiful score.General CDs
