Watch this with your bird

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2009)

I like this film. I want to cuddle it like it's a kitten or a bunny rabbit. That's not to say the film is like a fluffy animal, more than it just makes me feel good. The story is really human, and it hits the mark perfectly when it comes to romance. But not in the Debbie does Dalas sense of romance. This is poetry in movie form. If the film was a man, it would be Wordsworth.
The music takes over this film like a cancer. It's just one song! Effing hell people, how many times can you play it in one film?! It's a lovely song, it's a bit Damien Rice but not as good. The makers obviously thought it was great though. That aside, the music does give depth to the relationship between the guy and the girl. They're literally making sweet music together.
It's witty, beautifully shot (Dublin is a grand town), well acted and made with real love. One of the best independent pictures I've seen.
