The soundtrack of King in the Wilderness effectively captures the emotional complexity of Martin Luther King Jr.'s final years. The music sets the tone for the documentary, conveying both the hope and turmoil that defined that period.

I found the repetitive use of generic background music in King in the Wilderness to be distracting and uninspired. The soundtrack lacked originality and failed to capture the complexity of King's inner turmoil and the turbulent times he lived in.

The use of soulful melodies and stirring orchestral arrangements in the soundtrack creates a powerful emotional resonance, underscoring the profound impact of King's legacy and the weight of his contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. The music not only enhances the viewing experience but also serves as a poignant tribute to King's enduring influence on American history and society.

5/10

On the other hand, at times, the soundtrack of King in the Wilderness feels a bit repetitive and predictable. While it effectively underscores the key moments in the film, some tracks lack originality and fail to leave a lasting impact. A more diverse selection of music could have elevated the emotional depth of the documentary even further.

The soundtrack of King in the Wilderness felt disconnected from the emotional weight of the documentary. The music did not enhance the powerful moments or convey the depth of Martin Luther King Jr.'s struggles and triumphs effectively.
