Once

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2007)

Beautifully told poignant romance played out in an understated and natural way.The music is outstanding and stays in your head long after the movie is over.Modern Dublin is the background to a meeting between an Irish Busker and a Czech flower seller and we follow their story for a few days.Both leads are actually musicians but you would not know it as their acting comes over so naturally. The songs in the film are heartbreaking and reflects the personal ghosts they are both wrestling with. The ending is perfect and thankfully this was not made in Hollywood as they would never have been brave enough to end it like this. Highly recommended...
