Once (2006) 6/10

Starring : Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova, Hugh Walsh, Gerry Hendrick
Director : John Carney
Running Time : 85 mins

A busker (Hansard) and a Czech pianist (Irglova) meet on the streets of Dublin and discover their mutual love of music, a similarity that leads them into a whirlwind romance. As they try to make it in the music world, they find themselves being drawn into each others lives and spending more and more time with each other.

This is a likeable enough rags to riches feel good movie, but it didn't really hit any high points for me. The acting is fine, and the story rolls along at an acceptable pace, but it just didn't feel like there was enough going on in my opinion. There are some okay songs though, so maybe that would keep you entertained.
