One recent film that has been praised for its exceptional use of music to convey emotion is "Soul" (2020). The scenes that are most memorable for their use of music include the opening sequence where Joe Gardner plays the piano with passion and the emotional climax towards the end of the film when Joe reflects on his life's purpose. The jazz-infused soundtrack composed by Jon Batiste, Trent Reznor, and Atticus Ross elevates the emotional depth of the film and resonates with viewers long after watching it.
