Talking over dinner one night my sister told me that she had just received and seen Once.(We are both Netflix subscribers) She told me the basic premise and that it was really good. I forgot of course that she mentioned it and continued with life. A few weeks later I was over at a friends place and sitting on the floor was the movie. Remembering that instant to myself,’oh yeah I didn’t look into this after she told me’. So my friends told me that it was great and myself, being a musician, would probably love it.

Well let me tell you, this is probably one of the best movies I have seen in a while. This movie shot for only $160k(wikipedia) just goes to show that a great script and material can go much further than a huge budget. <cough> pirates movies </cough> If you enjoy great song writing/music and romance stories, this movie is for you. I was sucked in right away with the first solo singing performance. And after the first duet performance you might just want to rewind and listen to it again. I almost did.

Due yourself a favor and rent this. If you don’t like it, I don’t want to talk to you.

Length: 86 minutes (1h 26min)

Rated R for language. They do use the F bomb a bit. Trailer
