My Review-
When the movie Once came out it was one of my favorite films at the time. and I still like watching it from time to time especially for the music which was all written by Hansard and Irglova and since this documentary followed them after winning the Academy Award for best original song it was really cool to see what they went through after winning, and how learning how they were making music together way before Once was released, it was cool seeing them work together, and also learning that they did have a relationship with each other at one point, but since Irglova was not used to everything (press, photographs. signing autographs), they ended up breaking it off, but it seems like it was the right thing too do at the time, it was also pretty neat how it was made the whole thing was in black and white, and I do not know how they decided to do that, we also got to learn a little more about Hansard's life and how he decided to get into music for the first time and to see how its lead to something he loves, after seeing this movie I would like to listen to more of the music from Hansard and Irglova. If t you liked the movie Once or just like documentaries in general I think you will like this one, it is a very interesting one and also hearing them sing really good music is really awesome.
