I have recently bought this soundtrack album it is really amazing. I considered this is one of the best composition of Thomas Newman. I really adore Thomas Newman works, especially this one is simply superb. One track i would like to particularly mention about is that track no 28 "The letter that never came" is really haunts me and re-kindle the distant memories.
However, Thomas Newman was totally "Unfortunate" to lose the Academy Award but fortunately he is the best composer indeed. To say about movie, there also you find Thomas Newman was the hero. Director Brad Siberling could have done better job, but overall, it is a good movie.
