Lakeshore Records release Paolo Buonvino score for Fathers & Daughters. The movie is a love story between a father and daughter who live in Manhattan 25 years apart. The story moves back and forth between the 1980s where a famous novelist and widower struggles with mental illness as he tries to raise his 5-year old daughter; then it shows that daughter as a 30-year old woman in contemporary Gotham who battles her own demons that stem from that turbulent childhood...

Paolo Buonvino delivers a sweet score for Fathers & Daughters. It's a mellow affair, with a number of themes that are woven throughout the album's 25 tracks (1 hr, 01 min, 17 sec). However, as sweet as it is, there's nothing of real substance here. There are no instantly memorable themes or segments of music that make you want to add tracks to your playlist. It's just a really sweet score.

If you haven't seen the movie then this probably isn't worth investing in (unless you're a fan of mellow scores). But for fans of the movie, this is a wonderful memento of the film.
