One

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2008)

... as in one Oscar nom and one Oscar (Academy Award if you will) win! Not so bad for a small (budgeted) movie like this one. But it's not always about the money. It's also about the actors, the (simple yet affecting) story and the heart of the movie. And this movie does have those things.
Technically you could call it a musical, although it's not really (many songs, one of which won the Oscar). But it should still be a warning to those of you, who can't handle too many songs being played and/or a story moving forward through songs. Of course moving forward is a bit of a stretch. This is clearly a character developing movie, than a story developing one. If you think you can handle that and can watch a (love) story that feels real, than this movie is for you
