5/5

Um filme mágico que, através de sua narrativa enganosamente simples, alcança uma vitória que escapa à maioria das obras do gênero, retratando com sentimento o instante preciso no qual dois seres humanos se descobrem apaixonados um pelo outro.

With delicate care and a modest street musician attitude, Carney has reinvented what a movie musical can be.

...an epic told in incomplete lyric lines, a classic fable forged out of slowly strummed guitar, lilting piano, and strained, struggling voices.

Though the trailer for Once might pique your curiosity, you don't know the freight train of raw emotion that's about to blindside you.

Carney's Once is definitely not enough...thoroughly inspirational, lyrical, charming and cheeky...a winning spark that ignites the lovelorn imagination.

A minimalist musical which makes the most of the 'boy-meets-girl theme.

Captures the rare chemistry and unforced artistry of two people finding musical as well as personal harmony together and we are lucky enough to be there to watch it.

Not since Before Sunset has a romantic film managed to be as touching, funny or as hard to forget as Once.

A soulful valentine to music, friendship and the joys of honest hard graft, played out in the bedsits and recording studios of a deglamourised Dublin.

A rare innocence and a fresh approach to filmmaking make this a thoroughly charming and unconventional love story.

Steering well clear of schmaltz, the movie is carried by Hansard’s stirring soundtrack, wonderfully naturalistic performances and a storyline that never veers into whimsy.

In some places the camerawork feels a little underwhelming, and at times the leads' inexperience in acting shows up in comparison to their musical performances, but overall it works as a quiet, wistful modern romance.
