I don't like musicals

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2013)

How utterly surprising. How could a film made in 17days and for a measly $150,000 dollars be worth my time to watch? I avoid musicals like the plague and yet there was something about this film that caught my imagination.
What caught my imagination? Okay I confess, it was these reviews on IMDb. Even then, I wasn't convinced, it's not my "thing", I can watch the first 10minutes and switch off I thought. .... 10 minutes?? Fascinated, transfixed by the realism & simplicity, the film was over before I realised ... time for me had stopped.
It was almost like the story of someone I knew, it felt that close, that personal. I related to "The Guy" though I'm not a musician. I wanted them to "be together" and I wanted them to be a success.
NO, Once is not enough, though this is my first review and maybe I'll review a Film on here only the Once! It was that good 10/10. Oh and thank you reviewers, without you I would have missed a delightful hour and a half :)
