O my! - Once Reviews

This was just the lovliest and sweetest film I have seen in a long time. Being Irish and a hopeless romantic probably didn't help my objectivity, I suppose. For me, it was also just so "real". Two stangers, attracted by song to each other and finding themselves connecting emotionally, enjoying each other to the fullest in that space, "perhaps" longing for more, but staying within the boundaries of their own integrity, doing the "right" thing, and, yet, still giving the very best they had to give to each other. C.S. Lewis once said, "Friendship is the happiest and most fully human of all loves, the crown of life." Enhanced by the fabulous music, the whole experience was so simple, so loving, and therefore so very moving.
