Once - 3.75/5 stars
Director - John Carney
This movie is a simple modern-day musical about a busker and an immigrant and their eventful week in Dublin, as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story. I am so happy for the 2 leads when they won the Oscar for the Best Song category, you can see this award means how much to them, and thissong and film is really beautiful.
I am glad the oscar acknowledge this movie so me myself who like to recognise small independent films would like to further highlight this little flick no one might ever know or ever heard of. Like the lead actor who say during the acceptance speech, the film is shot in 17 days with 2 handicam, with a 30,000 (dunno wad currency) budget. It is a simple love story and the movie works because of the great songs inside, although the whole movie is very amateurish and slow, the audience is totally won over by the 2 leads and the soundtracks in the movie.
Go watch the movie immediately and I will gurantee you will go get the OST next.
