A Story so Charming, You'll Want to Show it to your Grandma

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2010)

Films don't have to be huge budget to be entertaining, in fact sometimes the creativity required to make a film with a limited budget leads to some great script writing, great acting and ultimately great story telling.
'Once' is one such example; shot on about £150,000 and in only 17 days it is the wonderful music of Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová and the other musicians involved. Their beautiful melodies and lyrical magic create a charming and warm atmosphere which adds to an enchanting story.
The music and reality of the subject will leave you feeling a part of the story, a story so simple and charming that you want to take it home and show it to your Grandma.
