Synopsis

An (unnamed) Guy is a Dublin guitarist/singer-songwriter who makes a living by fixing vacuum cleaners in his Dad’s Hoover repair shop by day, and singing and playing for money on the Dublin streets by night. An (unnamed) Girl is a Czech who plays piano when she gets a chance, and does odd jobs by day and takes care of her mom and her daughter by night. Guy meets Girl, and they get to know each other as the Girl helps the Guy to put together a demo disc that he can take to London in hope of landing a music contract. During the same several day period, the Guy and the Girl work through their past loves, and reveal their budding love for one another, through their songs. –IMDb

Idyllic and slow-paced though with layers of emotion swirling around beneath what is seen, complemented with one of the most perfectly-suited soundtracks ever.

I might be a little late. Waiting for all the hype to finally die down. I really liked it. I'm not heartless, This movie even got me all teary eyed. It is really good and scrappy. Filled with a rare innocence. A rare romance that get's it right

Once (2006)

By Igor Varga on March 18, 2010

First of all, this isn’t a cliche movie, but it also isn’t a indie masterpiece, like many people called it. There’s no doubt of its unique way to astonish, and some of the scenes were indeed filmed…  read review

Falling Slowly

By Mugino on January 3, 2010

Still shell-shocked from a couple of monster budget blockbusters, I turned to Once and was reminded again of cinema’s most humble roots. It is absolutely astonishing to see the beauty…  read review
