The Score
Part of the The Chamber Strand
EIFF is pleased to welcome Malachi Smyth, Ben Pullen and Matthew James Wilkinson to Edinburgh this Summer to present The Score and meet audiences in a post-screening Q&A.
Troy and Gloria kick off their romance with a typical meet-cute: he orders a coffee at the roadside diner where she works. The reasoning for his visit, however, is anything but typical. The young man is there with Mike, his partner in a criminal mission puzzlingly titled ‘the score’. With songs written by Johnny Flynn, this unusual musical intertwines the riveting tropes of a thriller with the comforting beats of a romance to construct a whimsical experiment in genre.
