Mini Review - ONCE

Some have labeled this the "little film that could" for 2007, and I am so glad to finally understand why. ONCE is on every level a pure delight! ONCE is a fusion of simplistic storytelling, wonderful characters, and music so genuine you will believe it is one of the characters. The plot is simple, a street guitarists meets a keyboardist and they decide to collaborate on some recordings. However, the journey they go on, and story that each song tells reaches beyond the surface to something much more deeper, richer, and beautiful than you ever expected. This movie doesn't wow you with computer effects or fancy camera moves, instead the greatest effect this little film can produce is to capture your heart with its music, its truthfulness, and its sincerity.

RECOMMENDATION: The film does boast some pretty harsh language so it is definately not for children.

GRADE: A-
