Background
Recurrent Zemeckis collaborator Alan Silvestri composed the film score.[3] He worked on the score during late-July and early-November 2018.[3] Silvestri's Back to the Future theme was referenced in one of the film's scenes.[4]
Reception
Pete Simons of Synchrotones wrote "[Silvestri] got a handful of recognisable themes and motifs that are repeated throughout the score – great for its structure and consistency. And it's a very accessible score."[5] James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "Welcome to Marwen is more of a curio than those two [Ready Player One and Avengers: Infinity War] – an entertaining score, by far his most dynamic and memorable for Zemeckis in a number of years, but also a somewhat disjointed one (by design) which can make it a more uneven listen when it comes to the album."[6] S. Rockwood of Set the Tape wrote "A workmanlike effort from Alan Silvestri, but he is capable of so much better."[7] Keith Uhlich of The Hollywood Reporter called it an "extravagant score",[8] while Vulture called it a "syrupy" score that blankets the film.[9] Michael Gingold of Time Out called it "jaunty".[10]
