Think the movie was great with great actors and great scenes but the music
Was so annoying in some scenes...couldn't stand it..

It is off beat, that is true. But, it does echo the uneasiness of what happens in the movie, so I think it is preferable to some routine, nondescript score.

And, using the Vivace from Brahms' Violin Concerto in D Major is brilliant. That is the music played over the End Credits, and heard after the oil well is dedicated.

Agreed..., and it was too loud.
It did keep me feeling unnerved for the run time though
Maybe that was intentional
