It’s that time of year, when everyone comes out with their ‘best of’ lists. After listening to nearly 700 film scores released in 2019, I’m ready. Up first are the most underrated scores of the year. These are ones that, for whatever reason, didn’t garner wide critical or popular attention despite their excellence. This list isn’t presented in any particular order – rating them runs the risk that I may only further underrate them.
