Amazingly raw and truthful

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2008)

This movie just reaffirms my faith in the film-making experience. It was incredible and I had to run out and buy it. I've seen tons of movies as you can maybe see by my voting history but from the very beginning, I was drawn into it and couldn't escape from that world. I was drawn in initially by a friend and the fact that this won an Original Song award at the Oscars.
I didn't even realize until the end that the characters didn't even have names. The DVDs have great commentary tracks providing further information that just makes this picture all the better.
A plot summary doesn't even suffice. It's two people who are both lonely in their own way and need each other so much but were just meant to be friends and came together in a great way at the right time. I like to think the title comes from "Once"...Upon a Time like it's some sort of fairy tale story.
