Once - 2008 *

How often do you find the one?

Critics have compared this movie to 'Brief Encounter' which in my opinion is a total insult, as 'Brief Encounter' is a brilliant and perfectly constructed piece of film, and this is quite frankly, a boring blur of bad singing and unbelievable characters. I felt no compassion for either of the to leads and found the story to be dire and slow-moving. I was surprised at this because I generally lap up alternative film by the bucketload and enjoy watching movies that have won awards other than Blockbuster/Hollywood sourced but this will be going right in the bin.
