Once (2007) User Reviews

This movie sounds absoutely awful, so I don't think I'll be seeing it.

This was a snoozer. The story went on and on about 2 young music lovers. It was slow moving, hard to understand the dialog, and the thought I would scream if they played one more of his songs.....

I just rented this liittle gem and i have to say this was the best film I watched all year. It was a very simple film that touched me in a way no other movie did in 2007. It started out a little strange but within minutes I was hooked. Both actors were very sweet and the music was amazing. I actually watched it a second time.

This movie is exactly as described in the review... simple, beautiful, sweet, and honest (sometimes painfully so). It exceeded my expectations in every way!!! The music haunted me long after I left the theatre, and I had to buy the soundtrack (which I rarely ever do). If you are looking for a slick blockbuster, or a movie with a tidy, happy ending, this isn't the movie for you. If you appreciate a simple story told in a beautiful way, full of emotion, yet subtle, then you will likely love this film as much as I did.

My husband and I found this movie online, and without much thought went to see it because of the storyline and the reviews. When it started, we both thought we had made a bad choice. But it only took a few minutes and we were hooked! There wasn't a dull moment, and the actors were amazing. I had to keep reminding myself that this was only a movie and the people were acting! We would definitely recommend this movie!

I saw this movie with my partner and we were very moved. Tender, beautiful, it kept our interest all throughout with very believable characters, the right amount of melodrama, and most of all the great sincere folksy music. It's the kind of art and entertainment that lingers and uplifts. My sister and brother-in-law saw it together, too,(they both like playing the guitar and singing once in a while). My brother-in-law was watching the first scene when the guy and the girl started singing together and he got so affected by their soaring song he started to be teary eyed and thought of telling my sister that he was wondering why he was crying at this simple scene but when he looked at my sister watching, she was crying, too!

This was the most simple and honest, but yet beautiful and completely satisying film that I think I've ever seen. It's really tough to break into my top 10 films of all time, but "Once" actually did it. It's great to see this little film go to more and more screens every week purely by word of mouth. It's really a special experience. Go see it with someone you love. A film as great as this only comes along Once in a loooong time.

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.

worst movie I have ever seen - is you can call it a movie. someone got hold of a camera and just let it roll wherever his/her mood went. I walked out and so did a third of the audience.
