Once Review

About
Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová
A modern-day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week, as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story.

The Good?
Incredibly sweet film, even if it is a little off-beat.

The whole film is beautifully done, and both nameless leading characters have a certain charm to them.

The huge focus on their past love lives and how it shaped them to become who they were.

The music was beautiful, my favourite song was the duet Falling Slowly.

The Bad?
Possibly a little too many music scenes, it got a bit tedious after awhile (especially when they were recording).

The Ugly?
Not a single kiss between characters in the film, almost like a bollywood film. Though, it's still so incredibly satisfying that I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Overall
A very film festivally film, if that makes any sense at all. But very sweet, even if the ending isn't what you would typically hope for.
