    Artful

    by avckc

    This movie is intimate and bittersweet. The music, characters, and performances are all wonderful. The cinematic style is "vonTrier-esque." It hits all the right notes with its humor and restraint, and its love of music is contagious. There are times in the movie when I craved more backstory, but ultimately, I didn't need it. If you like artful films which ignore hollywood convention, I think you will like this film. If you are patient and enjoy being drawn in to movies, musical performances, the creative process, and a budding relationship (with complexities), I think you will adore this film. Having seen it, I can't stop reflecting on it.

    I saw this at Sundance in January and immediately fell in love with the music, actors, and story. The story line is believable, we don't always get what we want, but it can be good trying. I listened to Glen and Marketa sing after the film during the Q.& A., then again at the Music Cafe. They are wonderful together and Glen and The Frames are great. This movie is not just a chick flick, my cousin who is a guy liked it too. Unles you're a die hard blood and guts person, see this movie.

    Once - A love story

    by GEMsMommy

    Beautifully done, I was very touched from the very beginning. A story of love, its pains and joys, and the making of art. The songs, most written and performed by the 2 leads, were beautiful in their simplicity and poignancy. I will buy the CD and recommend it to everyone.
