Once Trailer


I normally don't talk about DVDs, but this was such an amazing movie.

Some of the reviews the movie got:
“Once” is far from a conventional love story. It is, instead, the story of a creative partnership that develops by chance and that involves a deeper, riskier bond than mere sex ever could."- New York Times

"...an enchanting, unpretentious blend of music and romance you can watch forever... "Once" is about to come into your life and make it whole." - Los Angeles Times

"a magical, beguiling wonder.. think U2, not Riverdance, and get set for a gift of a movie that is absolutely worth seeing more than once. Blending the hip and the heartfelt, the tough and the tender, he creates a movie you want to hold close" - Rolling Stone

"For 'Once,' a rock musical with an irresistible charm" - The Boston Globe

"The way Carney handles their friendship, which is both a love story and a music story, you couldn't ask for a more wonderful pair. 4/4" - Chicago Metromix

Hailed as “Close to perfection” (New York Times) and winner of this year’s Sundance Film Festival Audience Award, Once also received top honors at the Dublin International Film Festival (Audience Award), as well as the Irish Film and Television Award for Best Music in Film. A duet of magical proportion, singer, songwriter and current Billboard chart-topper Glen Hansard (“The Frame”) and newcomer Markéta Irglová give extraordinary heartfelt performances as a street musician and a Czech immigrant as they write, rehearse and record songs that artistically reveal their unique love story.
