Where is Kyra

 

"The South African composer Philip Miller creates a soundscape of squeals and dissonant plinks, of horns that sound like groans of metal — or are they groans of metal transmuted into horns? There’s a bizarre industrial wail as the camera follows a bent-over old woman tapping her cane along the sidewalk towards a bank. Is that … ? Would she … ? Oh, yes, she would. “

- David Edelstein,  Vulture

" Tenaciously pronounced is Philip Miller’s score, whose jarring sounds were able to create tension galore.”

- Diane Carson, KDHX
