Subject: RE: ONCE - A Movie about 'US'?
Thanks, Joe.

We saw it this afternoon. What a lovely movie! The music was beautiful, but a little repetitious but that did not detract at all. (I've now got an ear worm from the song they did the most, which is a good thing as it is a beautiful song.) As Charley said, it was really enhanced by the two lead actors being musicians in the 3D world AND it being shot on location. It had such a real feel to it and it was really quite understated for being such a gem. I'd highly recommend it.

It may not sound like such a striking movie when I say it didn't seem overly ambitious ( a GOOD thing!)and was so very, very nice, but those are high compliments imo in this context.
