Review of Once (2007) by Keith — 20 Jul 2007
Charming, lovely, just about perfect. It's a movie other filmmakers SHOULD see, not because others need to make movies like this necessarily. But there are lessons here. After seeing it, I thought about all the movies I've seen that have bent over backwards with money, big names, contrivances of all kinds to be romantic.
This film is a lesson about how little it really takes to tell a wonderful, sincere story that is also romantic. As for the negative criticisms, I tend to ignore them. Every time a movie comes along that gets almost universally positive reviews, there are always those who protest simply because they think it makes them sound smarter.
It doesn't. It just makes you sound like you have bad taste. Congrats to all involved with the movie. Lovely story with music I'll remember for a long time.
