Realistic love story

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2015)

Brilliant - a movie that finally emotionally connects. It screams feeling and conveys a realistic love story that isn't saccharin or insincere. Photography is intimate and the lighting is entirely motivational providing a naturalistic look to the film that at times is very dark, but works really well. Soundtrack fits and enhances the passionate undertones. A must see film and reminds me why I fell in love with Dublin the first time!
Once is a movie that you can see more than once and not lose interest. Great musical score that helped propel story. I found characters believable and engaging. Solid movie and am now looking forward to seeing the musical, but am not sure that it will hold the same allure as the film.
