Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein have scored the new film adaptation of Richard Wright’s 1940 novel ‘Native Son’, which was premiered at this year’s Sundance film festival.
“Emphatically setting a different tone than expected, and beautifully so, is a jazzy, electrified score by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein that sets an internal, brooding, borderline mournful tone rather than anything confrontational. This alone puts the film on a different plane, just as it helps define Bigger’s inner journey and the path toward tragedy.” – Todd McCarthy
