Composer Stuart Matthewman 's refreshingly earnest and highly melodic sepia-one score for Mark and Michael Polish's quirky drama the Astronaut Farmer echoes his work on the Polish brothers' previous films Northfork and Twin Falls Idaho. Matthewman builds windswept vistas of Americana that are evocative of Randy Newman at his most Copland-esque, utilizing heartland string cues and patriotic swells to tell the story of an ex-astronaut who returns to his family farm and attempts to build his own rocket. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
