Once had been on my “Want to see it” list for a while. Finally, just recently I got the chance to sit down and watch this film. Before I continue, I feel like I should put a disclaimer that I am a total sucker for romantic films…and (probably not surprising) I loved Once! So much so, that it left me a bit speechless. I was blown away by its pure, authentic approach to the relationship that developed between the two main characters in this story. It seemed pretty true to how love is in real life and how past choices affect current situations. It’s beautiful and I think that even if you’re not one for what’s normally defined as a “chic flick”, you’ll dig what’s going on in this movie. Oh…and an added bonus is that the soundtrack rocks!
