I understand that I'm about a year late on the "Once" bandwagon, but I haven't enjoyed a movie this much in a really long time, so here we go. I really didn't know what the deal would be with this film when I ordered it off of ever reliable On Demand last night. Ninety minutes later I was logged on to itunes to buy the soundtrack, completely taken.
It's a not-musical, musical and a not-love, love story that looks more like a BBC special than a romantic comedy. I won't ruin anything for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but defied my expectations in a number of small, impressive ways that made for a really graceful, engaging story. I'm gushing, obviously.
Also obvious, I'm a girl with a penchant for Damien Rice-esq music and latent desire to be a Dubliner...so it's pretty much right up my ally.
So, I have it On Demand for another 10 hours or so if anyone wants to come over and watch it again with me. I'm basically serious.
Also exciting -- swiffer wet-jet. Got one.
