“Elizabeth-Jane conjured 95 minutes of riveting musical commentary on the story, with sounds ranging from startling metallic eruptions at moments of shock plot developments, through foot-tapping jazz-age tunes in the dance-hall sequence, to voluptuous pastoral romances and affecting melodies drawing us into deeper empathy with the characters’ emotional troubles.”
