This movie was beautiful! It will speak to you if you've ever take the path MORE traveled rather than the one less traveled. Or I guess if you've ever put your heart 2nd.

And no, I don't mean the film, I mean the number of times anyone should view the film. Once is once too many for Once. Although I can see what other people liked about it, I cannot ignore the fact tha... t the dialogue was scarce and uninformative, the plot was not advanced and at times, buried, there was no lighting, and the 88-minute film seemed like it was 3 hours long. Further than that, the fledgling plot would not have been enough to carrry the film anyway. If this film speaks to some avant-garde style of filmmaking that will soon be used in all movies, I shall be quite happy with my collection of DVDs and without ever setting foot in a theatre again.
