Not to be missed

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2007)

I will second everything good that's been said about this film. I was totally blown away. I am grateful for the movie buffs who have time to scan for gems like this -- like they guy who owns the Balboa Theater in San Francisco, where I saw it. Because I'd never have time to. I had no idea who any of these actors or musicians were before seeing this. Hansard, Carney, Czech girl. If there is any justice, they will all meet with success. See it! I am also shocked to see that this movie got an "R" rating. Why? There are movies with lots move violence and cussing with PG and PG-13 ratings. It just shows how totally stupid our rating system is. (no nudity, shucks!)
