A Musical Masterpiece by Lin-Manuel Miranda

The film’s heart beats not just with its visuals but also with its unforgettable soundtrack, composed by none other than Lin-Manuel Miranda (Encanto, Hamilton). The multi-award-winning composer injects emotional depth into the narrative with his remarkable music.

“When I read the screenplay, I felt like the places where the songs needed to happen really just popped out,” he shared. “In fact, [for] at least a few of the songs, the titles of the songs I ended up writing were originally lines of dialogue in the screenplay. ‘I always wanted a brother’ — there’s a line of dialogue — and I built the whole song around that title.” — (FREEMAN)
