For film music fans, check out this interview with the film’s composer Theodore Shapiro (St. Vincent, Secret Life Of Walter Mitty) on his score to Trumbo:
Soundtrack Available Now: [iTunes][CD]
With dialogue almost as snappy and effervescent as the jazzy score, Trumbo and crew subvert and foil the enemy. The mix of drama and humor works well here and comedic backgrounds of many of Trumbo’s stars becomes an incredible asset, adding almost perfect timing to many a line-reading. – Consequence of Sound
Trumbo is timely in its portrayal of a moment when political speech is dangerously charged, yet unabashedly old-fashioned in the sincerity of its storytelling. – Los Angeles Times
