Last Night (soundtrack)

Last Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the

Mansell used piano for most of the film, which he felt that it had a "sort of hypnotic" sound on the tracks. The score featured vocals provided by Peter Broderick, who also wrote lyrics for few songs and also re-recorded his song "Not At Home" with Mansell at the climatic scene, after Tadjedin's request.^[7] Writing for Uncut, David Quantick described the music as "a step outside [of Mansell's] usual mixture of intense orchestral post-rock and intense moodiness"; according to Thomson the soundtrack is composed primarily of "melancholy piano pieces".^[8]

Reception

Cynthia Ellis of HuffPost wrote Mansell created "a haunting score" that "lingers long after the film is over".^[9] Quantick from Uncut praised the soundtrack as "a slight collection, but excellent for all that",^[8] although Rodrigo Perez of IndieWire criticized it as "mostly played out in the forgettable background".^[10] Brice Ezell, writing for PopMatters described it as "Don’t let the album’s relatively short length fool you: this is incredible, powerful music that runs through a whole range of emotions over the course of its runtime. Mansell wastes no time in this score’s seven track length, making a powerfully emotive case for his status as the best film composer alive."^[11] Stephen Cole of The Globe and Mail commented that Mansell "offers up an austere piano concerto".^[12]
