4/10

I found the lack of cultural authenticity in the music to be disappointing. As a novel that delves into the experiences of a Maori woman, I expected the soundtrack to incorporate more traditional Maori elements to enhance the storytelling. Instead, the generic and unremarkable music fell short of bringing the richness of Maori culture to life.
