Once – An unusual story of two people trying to sort themselves out and bonding over their shared passion for music in modern Dublin. Beautiful in its simplicity, but way beyond clichés. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova are both great as the lead actors, but they really soar as the creators of the music that drives this film. 4.5 stars2.

You cannot listen to the word another is speaking if you are preoccupied with your appearance or impressing the other, or if you are trying to decide what you are going to say when the other stops talking, or if you are debating about whether the word being spoken is true or relevant or agreeable.

An incredible short film - all about hope and grief within an Australian context.
