5Excellent!  Aug 22, 2010
Incredible music and beautiful story. One of the best films I've seen in a long time.

5Great Movie...Great Amazon seller  Aug 18, 2010
Loved the movie for most of the same reasons so many others have detailed. Got the DVD because I wanted the extras, the commentaries, etc. And this review is about the seller: RainyDayEntertainment, Just-4-Josh as I ordered 7/26, it was postmarked 7/27 and I got it across the country 7/29. Wow, that's service. I've ordered items from other Amazon resellers and have waited a couple of weeks, and sometimes it never arrives (they send a refund, but I wanted the item!). I will order DVD's from RainyDayEntertainment again!!

5Sticks with you  Aug 04, 2010
All of these one star reviews must be into Transformers or A-Team movies. This movie is real from start to finish. So much background to the filming, the truth in character for both Guy and Girl.
You will not forget the feeling of this movie. Could not recommend more.

1Horrendous Production Values Ruins a Great Story  Apr 01, 2010
Once is an interesting movie. I say that because, honestly, there's a strong storyline here that could be enjoyed. It's unique, has a great and very original soundtrack, and comes off as a quirky love story told through music.

Now the bad news. Once has, quite literally, the worst production values I have seen. Worse yet, it managed to slip into mass distribution with them. The lighting is absolutely terrible and there's even a scene where you can see the grip and operator's shadow. The audio quality sounds like an on board microphone and there are shadows all over the place. I have honestly seen better home movies. Honestly.

It's kind of a catch 22. I'm sure the production values were looked over BECAUSE of the story but it's like trying to pass off a crayon stick figure as a Picasso. You don't need a budget to make a great movie. But you at least need SOME level of know how, know where to put your lights, know how to use mics, etc. This truly made the movie unwatchable.



5More than Once  Mar 17, 2010
Great movie! I watched "Once" in the theatre when it first came out, and loved it so much, that I told everyone I knew back then who could really appreciate a smart movie, to see it. Now I own it can see it and share it whenever I want.
