I liked her score a lot and I liked the movie. Yeah I didn't think that the almost sexual encounter counts as falling in love. In general I find its hard to comment about this movie as the general mistaken reputation is that it was a movie about Scarjo getting naked. Unlike Monsters Ball which was in fact just an excuse to get Halle Barry naked and then they awarded her with an Oscar for such a bad film and mediocre performance. Under the Skin is a really good film, up my alley anyway and I thought the soundtrack was great. I find that often outsiders or first/second timers do great work as they bring something fresh because they really don't know what they are doing.
Say what you will about Reznor and Ross, whom I personally don't think much of, but you can see by three or four movies in they are showing they only really know their limited way or doing film music. But the first time appeared, at least, to be something different.
Many of my favorite scores are "early" efforts from Conan, to Altered States, to Crouching Tiger to Beetlejuice. It's not to say newcomers are always great or that it's old hat for well established composers, in fact to me it enhances the greatness of Goldsmith or Williams that they can do something incredible and unexpected in their 100th score. We can get excited about newcomers and that's great, but so very rarely do they establish themselves as truly original voices.
