English artist Louis Wain rises to prominence at the end of the 19th century for his surreal cat paintings that seemed to reflect his declining sanity.
Peg Aloi, The Arts Fuse
‘beautifully discordant music’
Patrick Cremona, Radio Times
‘credit must also go to Arthur Sharpe’s terrific score’
Emma Badame, That Shelf
‘fantastic score’
Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
‘soaring like some otherworldly violin’
Lewis Knight, The Mirror
‘the melancholic yet almost alien-like score from Arthur Sharpe’
David Ehrlich, Indie Wire
‘an enigmatically warbling score by Sharpe… makes better use of the theremin than any movie since “First Man”’
Chris Evangelista, /Film
‘there are fantasy-infused sequences of true beauty, coupled with Arthur Sharpe’s lovely-yet-sorrowful score’
