I thought the score really worked with that story; the songs weren't obtrusive and, despite my half-arsed falsetto, the climate chorus ('We Are One') was quite effective.
The characters were all clearly delineated, and the plot had some real momentum.
As I said last night, the film needs a few scenes at Bellamys with Edgar and Rose: typing unfiltered, I'd say they could have a barroom scene after Barry's Song.
