Once (2007) - Starring Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová. Written and Directed by John Carney. Rated R. Available on DVD.
Once lives up to all the hype and critical acclaim surrounding it. It is an incredibly small film with incredibly large heart and passion behind it. The songs (especially the Academy Award-winning song "Falling Slowly) are fantastic. The acting (done by two non-actors) feels natural and the chemistry between the two leads is quite great. It is a unique story that tells of two people working on music together as they are possibly falling in love. It feels completely fresh and original and is definitely worth watching.
Rating: 4 out of 5.
Here is the song "Falling Slowly" from the film:
