- A score as iconic as Jackie O herself by experimental British musician Mica Levi, best known for her ethereal score to 2013’s sleeper hit Under the Skin. Jackie is the upcoming biographical film from Chilean director Pablo Larraín. Starring Natalie Portman (Black Swan) in the title role, the movie follows Jacqueline Kennedy from the days when she was First Lady of the White House to the aftermath of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Critically lauded since its debut at the Venice Film Festival where it won the Best Screenplay Award, Jackie also received the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival and is a heavy favourite going into awards season.The score to Jackie was composed by experimental British musician Mica Levi, best known for her ethereal score to 2013’s sleeper hit Under the Skin. Mournful and eerie with a touch of the surreal, Levi has delivered an unmistakable musical tapestry every bit as iconic as Jackie O herself.''From the saddening glissando strings of the opening theme, with its falling invocations of death and discord, Levi provides the unifying emotional glue for Larrain's deliberately shattered film. THere's a touch of Jonny Greenwood's deeply unsettling music for There Will Be Blood about the recurrent swooning motif that Levi deploys (not to mention a funereal hint of Handel), while eerie silences echoing between strong but fragile chords poignantly recall Jackie's isolation. Elsewhere, the drums of war scratch at the edges of plaintive piano pieces, while jazzier sounds evoke the sunny 60s optimism that was shattered in the wake of the Dealry Plaza shooting'' **** - The Guardian''Mica Levi’s music is a marvel — an atonal weather system growling foreboding. In an atmospheric cemetery scene, with Jackie wandering off-escort into the mists of Arlington, there are shades of Berg’s Wozzeck. Elsewhere, Copland-patriotic sounds are wreathed in sly discord or dipped in tormented bass notes'' ***** - Financial times ''Surrey musician Mica Levi made her name with Noughties indie band Micachu and the Shapes, but has found her niche as a film composer leaning towards classical music. This album reiterates her indie ethos by blending distorted strings, piano and woodwind'' *** - Daily Mail
