The tale of a mother who poses as her son's estranged father in letters, yet eventually has to enlist a stranger to play the role, director Shona Auerbach's intimate indie became a film festival perennial. Given the movie's tearjerker tendencies, its musical score becomes an even more crucial component of its deft, if relatively non-manipulative dramaturgy. Young composer Alex Heffes more than rises to the occasion, providing a delicate score fueled by spare, elegant piano and emotionally-longing string arrangements. Heffes work here mines the same intimately scaled, soulfully resonant vein as Rachel Portman's Oscar-nominated music for Lasse Hallstrom's Ciderhouse Rules and Chocolat, a skillful musical tack that's openly emotional, yet seldom cloying. The contributions of modern rockers Clarksville (the buoyant "Everyone Will Have Their Day" and more intimate ballad "Reprise") and singer-songwriters Obi and Jesse Harris organically mesh with Heffes' score in a way that's all to rare in an era where pop songs often contribute little more than marketing shuck to film projects. --Jerry McCulley

 I Love This CD! February 3, 2010
J. Erich (OH, USA)
The music just takes me away from my every day life and off to the Scottish shore. Wonderful blend of instrumental and vocal arrangements. If you've seen the movie, you'll recall each and every scene. Like the line in the movie, "it takes my breath away...every time!"

Jacqueline Chase (Ft. Morgan, CO)
This is an excellenct movie. Wish the movie makers out there would do more like this. It is moving, very relatable, loving, caring, shows what a mother would do to protect her child.

Dear Frankie - Soundtrack February 28, 2008
Penny Whistle (Rockaway,NJ USA)
The movie, "Dear Frankie" is a gem. It's also my favorite, and likewise the soundtrack. The piano music at the beginning is such a beautiful uplifiting piece, as are the subsequent tracks. I loved Clarkesville and the other artists. This is a must buy!!
My Dear, Dear Frankie August 6, 2007
Sherry Clayton
I enjoy discovering music from around the world and often find that film soundtracks can offer a convenient intro. From the first scene in Dear Frankie, I was completely drawn in by the delicate balancing of narration and the haunting musical score.
