“The Dimming of the Day” (Movie, 2011) — Album Guide to Tracks and Key Scenes

Overview

Quick reality check: we could not verify the existence of a feature film titled The Dimming of the Day released in 2011 — and therefore there is no verifiable official motion-picture soundtrack to review. That title most commonly refers to Richard Thompson’s 1975 song, widely covered for decades, and to a 2011 studio album by Broadway singer Anastasia Barzee that takes its name from the song.

If you meant the song “Dimming of the Day” (Richard & Linda Thompson) as used in films/TV, or the 2011 album The Dimming of the Day by Anastasia Barzee, we can deliver a full, sourced guide immediately. If you had a different movie in mind (even a short or festival title), any alternate title, director, star, country, or a trailer link will nail it.

Likely mix-ups: the Thompson song; Barzee’s 2011 album on Ghostlight Records; unrelated shorts named The Dimming (2011); and isolated references to “dimming of the day” in reviews or poems. None are a 2011 feature film titled The Dimming of the Day.

How It Was Searched

We checked major film/databases and music catalogues for a 2011 feature (or short) under this exact title, plus soundtrack listings and trailer IDs. Results surfaced: (a) the Barzee album (2011) on Ghostlight Records, and (b) numerous pages about the Richard Thompson composition. No authoritative listing appeared for a 2011 motion picture with this exact title.

Tracks & Scenes

Because no 2011 feature by this title is verifiable in the public databases we searched, reliable track–scene placements cannot be provided. If you meant the Barzee album or the Thompson song’s notable screen uses, say the word — we’ll pivot to detailed highlights (without listing full tracklists).

Notes & Trivia

• “Dimming of the Day” is a 1975 Richard Thompson song (with Linda Thompson) later covered by Alison Krauss & Union Station (2011), Bonnie Raitt, Mary Black, and many others.
• Broadway/West End actress Anastasia Barzee released a 2011 studio album titled The Dimming of the Day on Ghostlight Records.
• Some databases show 2011 shorts titled The Dimming (not The Dimming of the Day), which are unrelated.

Reception & Quotes

Given the absence of a verifiable film/soundtrack, there are no applicable contemporary soundtrack reviews to cite. If we switch to the Barzee album or to the Thompson song’s reception/history, we can include proper excerpts and citations.

Interesting Facts

• Song vs. film: Searches for “The Dimming of the Day (2011)” overwhelmingly return the Thompson composition or the Barzee album — a classic case of title collision.
• Cover magnet: The song’s popularity in folk/roots circles (and beyond) fuels frequent misattribution to films that merely use the phrase.
• Metadata traps: Retailer listings sometimes tag Barzee’s album as “Soundtrack” even though it’s a studio vocal album — which can mislead automated scrapers.
