Once soundtrack, awesome movie, awesome music! April 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Excellent music, original & unique, haunting & hard-driven. Glen Hansard & his overly-used guitar make magic. Marketa & her smooth vocals create mesmerizing moods. The movie was awesome: cute & unique & touching & original. But the music made it fantastic! Movie & soundtrack are highly recommended. Kudos to the band & film-makers too.
Well Deserved!!! April 16, 2008

Up until now, I had never taken the time to offer my perspective on music. This amazing soundtrack well deserves the effort! When I heard ,"Falling Slowly", for the first time, I cried. I then found out that there was a soundtrack and purchased it and the movie. I was totally blown away. I can not get enough. I now want to acquire all music from, "The Frames". I wish them continued success within themselves, for it is well deserved.
Sweet sweet movie... one you'll watch more than once April 13, 2008

I missed ONCE on the big screen--it wasn't in theaters for long. I ordered the DVD a-s-a-p. It's a sweet movie and one you'll watch several times, each time catching a wry comment you missed the first time from Glenn or Marketa... Glenn repairs vacuums in his Dad's shop by day and is a Dublin street-singer by night. "Mar" passes the street singer daily and is taken by Glenn's guitar playing and voice; Glenn has little time for chatting but does tell "Mar" he repairs vacuums by day.
Mar just happens to have a broken vacuum. The scene where she arrives pulling the bright blue vacuum by it's long hose through crowded Dublin streets made me laugh out loud. She has a break-out smile that punctuates her serious style of conversation (which Glenn can't ignore). She's persistent in getting to know him and he finally agrees to have tea with her one night when his gig ends. They go off into the crowded night--he carrying his guitar and she trailing the vacuum through the crowds (the repair shop had closed for the night). Great songs throughout but listen for Glenn's impromptu strumming and lyric on the bus (after "Mar" persists in knowing what happened to his former girlfriend): "I'm Just a Broken-Hearted, Hoover-Fixin,' Sucker Guy."
I had to know MORE about Glen and Marketa and the soundtrack CD came with a bonus DVD, a visually lovely get-to-know Glen and Marketa.

Simply the best.. I love you Glen & Marketa for such beautiful songs of truth and conviction. This is for WPBIP who left a neg review..like with all types of music it is all a matter of taste. You either have it or you don't and it's quite obvious you don't. Star Star teach me how to Shine!!!
