"Once" is most likely for music lovers only

Rating: 3/10 (1 January 2008)

"Once" is a beautiful independent film made in very little time and on very little money. That alone almost makes this film worth watching.
The love that this filmmaker has for music and music in film is evident. Unfortunately, there is no good story past the music. I don't care all that much for music and have no great affinity for music in film. This movie offers you nothing more. The writing and acting were not great and I found nothing enjoyable in it.
Music lovers unite, you have most likely found a wonderful film, but for those expecting more, beware of the melodic front. Because I couldn't get into the music, I couldn't get into this film.
