Coraline

I watched this movie expecting hauntingly beautiful animation and some sort of nightmarish, but ultimately well-resolved plot. And it had all of that. I didn't expect my favorite part of the film to be its score. It was beautifully done and I recommend it with all my heart. It, of course, had a predictable general story (the neglected child who seeks love from her over-worked parents and when she discovers it in another way, is ultimately dissatisfied and misses her parents), but that was beside the point. The world was just so fascinating and intricate that it was almost overwhelming. And like I said, the score was gorgeous and by Bruno Coulais who did the music for Les Choristes as well.
