Review of Once (2007) by Eytan D — 13 Jul 2012
A simple love story makes for the movie that changes the way we feel about musicals forever. As indie as it may be, Once is sweet, funny, heartbreaking, and ultimately, entertaining. The music, created by leads Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, is beautiful and rich.
Hansard and Irglova deliver completely natural performances, and they show dynamite chemistry. Once won the Oscar for Best Song (I dare you to listen to "Falling Slowly" without getting emotional) and it has become a smash on Broadway.
It goes to show you that this little movie pays off in a big way. It's a wonderful film that I can watch over and over again without ever getting tired.
