When I started watching this movie I had no idea of what I was getting into! It is definitely out of the ordinary! Very powerful and the soundtrack is amazing! I got the movie as a gift and bought the soundtrack immediately after I saw it! If you like irish folk music you're going to love this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music, even better movie, January 19, 2008

A total revelation. Set in Dublin two unnamed musicians find each other on the streets and a sweet collaboration occurs with his songs and her conviction in the power of his music. Both have people in their past that they still have feelings for and this the source for the power of the amazing music and their bitter-sweet relationship. Great rental through Tivo-Unbox.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotion through Music, February 5, 2008

This review is from: Once (Amazon Instant Video)

This movie was a great surprise.....we (my husband and I) figured it would be a cute little indie flick, but it was much more powerful because the music actually TELLS the story. It's not just the story of two people, it's also the story of the evolving songwriter and music transforms their relationship. My husband is a musician and songwriter and was absolutely blown away by the music, it was so simple but powerful and emotional. It's one of those movies that you'll watch and when it's over you'll look at each other and say "Wow, let's watch that again"....and then you'll go to Itunes and buy the soundtrack....it's fabulous. WATCH THIS MOVIE.
