   • 2014, Paul Julian Smith, Desire Unlimited: The Cinema of Pedro Almodóvar, Verso, London/New York, third edition, page 192:

     Even the original score [of Volver] by Almodóvar's close collaborator Alberto Iglesias, recently Oscar-nominated for The Constant Gardener (Fernando Meirelles, 2005), is discreet and unshowy. Deftly echoing Almodóvar's frequent changes in register, Iglesias offers Hitchcockesque strings for the thriller elements (a bloody murder) and tender harp chords for the supernatural apparitions (the moving Maura).
