Fantastic review, I agree with every word. These lyrics from the wonderful, magical song “Falling Slowly” are worth the price of the ticket alone:

You have suffered enough
At war with yourself
It’s time that you won

(Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova)

Thanks for the review. I love musicals, so we’ll definitely have to check this one out.

I adore this movie and your review is thought provoking. I think one of the reasons Once is so moving is that it encapsulates that juxtaposition of a very simple art form conveying very complex emotion. The music, the direction, the acting, everything is so simple and pared back. But yet I’m still pondering the message that two people can touch each other so meaningfully yet outside of a traditional relationship.

And it made me pick up my guitar and play along, that hasn’t happened in a while!

Another outstanding review. This movie has been high on my to-see list for quite a while. I need to restart Netflix and move it to the top of my queue.

Great review, I will have to see that movie. The clip gave me the sniffles, I’ve walked down that street many times with my husband, good memories.
