Mica Levi (of Micachu & The Shapes) follows her BAFTA-nominated score for 2013's Under The Skin.
"Levi expertly evokes the story and emotion even without any visual cues. Vibraphone tones plink down sadly on "Tears", while the shivering violins on "Burial" feel like the cold certainty of death swarming in. The rattling snare rolls of "Graveyard" remind of the official ceremony at the presidential funeral - but this isn't a film or soundtrack about John F. Kennedy. Levi very clearly shows that this is Jackie's story, and the story reaches far beyond the president's death. Even as the "Burial" concludes, there is still "The End", in which the violins strive for hope in the darkness. Wind tones that had prior been mixed in more subtly stand out, a flutter of flute and oboe reaching higher. Whether an alien who hunts down men or a recently widowed First Lady, experimental terror or dignified sadness, Mica Levy is a supremely talented storyteller, able to tap into the most subtle moments and reveal unknown layers." - Consequence of Sound
