The Finished People (2003) - original score

Directed by Khoa Do, released by Dendy Cinemas, Oct 2003

Winner of the Independant Spirit Award at 2003 IF Awards



"Abigail Hatherley's soundtrack is haunting, shades of Ryuichi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence coming to mind in the compositional mix of woodwinds and synthesizer moods. In such a raw film her fleetingly beautiful music touches us like a breeze" 

The Drum Media


"And the icing on this particular cake is Abigail Hatherley's emotive score" 

Inside Film

 

"Abigail Hatherley's music score created a sense of low-key poignancy and intimacy that helped to soften the harshness of the characters' lives"

Lynden Barber, Australian Screen

 

"Few films deserve to be called "important", this one does"

Empire Magazine


"...comes from left field to knock your socks off - one of the best Australian films of the year" 

Margaret Pomeranz, The Movie Show
