Stephanie Clark
5/10

The soundtrack of White Mischief effectively captures the opulent and scandalous atmosphere of colonial Kenya in the 1940s. The use of classical orchestral pieces and jazzy tunes creates a sense of sophistication and intrigue that perfectly complements the story's themes of deception and betrayal.

The use of traditional African instruments in the music adds an authentic and cultural layer to the soundtrack, reflecting the unique setting of colonial Kenya and enriching the narrative.

The soundtrack of White Mischief fails to capture the suspense and intrigue of the murder mystery storyline. The music feels generic and lacks depth, failing to enhance the overall atmosphere of the film.

3/10

I found the use of repetitive melodies and predictable orchestration to be uninspiring and unmemorable. The soundtrack did not succeed in evoking the tension and complexity of the characters' relationships and the dark secrets of the Happy Valley society.

Daniel Perez
5/10

On the other hand, while the music sets the mood well, some tracks lack originality and fail to leave a lasting impression. The soundtrack, at times, feels predictable and safe, missing the opportunity to enhance the emotional depth of the characters and the complexity of the plot. A more daring and innovative approach could have elevated the overall viewing experience and added another layer of depth to the narrative.
