Excellent Movie - Best in Years

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2008)

This is the best movie I have seen in years! I had no idea when I stumbled across it that it would turn out to be such a great, yet simple, movie. The music is wonderful. The story is sweet and real. When it was over, I wanted more. I coaxed my husband into watching it with me, so I saw it twice in one night. He loved it too. We watched it two days before the Oscars and I had no idea at the time that it was nominated for Best Song. When I found out, I watched the entire Oscar ceremony (which was so not like me) just to hear them sing... and hope that they would win. I was so happy when they won! I just ordered the DVD, Soundtrack, and another CD by 'The Frames' which is the band that Glen Hansard was in. I am so glad I discovered this gem of a movie, and these wonderfully talented musicians. I gave it a 10.
