Editorial Reviews

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.

An "Unfinished Life" is a sweet gem of a movie and the score by Deborah Lurie flows perfectly with the story. Well worth adding to the collection for any fan of film scores and composers.

An Unfinished Life
This movie was okay. I didn't hate it and I didn't fall in love with it. The scenery is magnificent and the soundtrack was fabulous. It was so fabulous that I bought it! A very easy listening sound with a hint of westerness (is that a word?) to it. I highly recommend the music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have...

Definitely see the movie before buying the soundtrack, as the score have so much more meaning...

Like the other review here, I too found this score does a wonderful job at depicting the lonliness and heartbreak of the film, but also balances with forgiveness and redemption. And it's all orchestra...no vocals! Having vocals accompanied on this score would have distracted immensely. This is a soundtrack I am finding myself listening to often and highly recommend this movie as well as the soundtrack. What is so sad is the that the bear does signify the fear/teror we all must face, but so few of us take that leap of faith needed to face the giants in our lives. This film (and soundtrack) takes us through the process and then celebrates the triumph of an ordinary man who held onto grief and unforgivensss for 10 years, who finally decides to let it go. Truly a haunting but thoughtful score that will inspire in the listener/viewer to find the courage within to face one's most terrifying battles...despite the fear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soothing Music

I love this movie so much that anytime it's on t.v. I watch it, even if it's the middle of the movie when I find it on Cablevision. The book was fantastic and the movie is incredible with Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman. Who couldn't love those two in the same movie!?

The music makes the movie very soothing and relaxing even through the drama of the story. I love listening to this when I'm at work as it takes me into a state of solitude and contentment.

An Unfinished Life is one of the most enjoyable movies I have seen, so I wanted to listen to the sound track. If you have seen the movie you can listen to the music and remember the scene where that music was playing. Almost like enjoying the movie all over again.

Ich habe den Film gesehen und mir ist sofort der Soundtrack aufgefallen. Getragene Melodien, mit akustischen Instrumenten wie Geige, Flügel und Gitarre und symphonischem Orchester, und alles vollkommen entspannt. Der Film war okay, aber man muss ihn nicht gesehen haben haben, um diesen Soundtrack zu lieben. Eine Mischung aus "Straight Story" und "Shipping News" (auch unbedingt empfehlenswert!)
