Though a fairly quiet film, there are moments of impressive sound design on display here.
Dialogue is very crisp and full sounding. Surround usage is kept to a minimum, but does come into play in some very natural, and subtlety immersive ways. The director utilizes silence and sparse sound design to great effect throughout, and again, though quiet, there is actually a nice level of dynamic range present which punctuates the more serene elements of the track with the harsher realities at work.
This is a deceptively simple track that is actually much more impressive than it may first seem. It’s still a strong example of a soft, but effective track.
