How often do you find the right person?
Once is the inspirational tale of two kindred spirits who find each other on the bustling streets of Dublin.
One is a street musician who lacks the confidence to perform his own songs, and thus works part-time helping his father, who runs a small, vacuum cleaner repair business, whilst he dreams of landing a record deal.
The other is a young mother trying to find her way in a strange new town. She works as a house cleaner in an upper-class residence and is struggling financially, yearning for a piano she cannot afford.
As their lives intertwine, they discover each other's talents and push one another to realise what each had only dreamt about before. Once is the inspiring story of their budding love for one another.

I was reading the reviews of this film and they convinced me to watch it. For me it was one of the worse films I've ever seen. There was not much of a story, bad begining and ending with bad filming. Apart from that the music was good.
Great film!!!!

I read the reviews on this and thought I'd give it a try, I reluctantly suggested it to a mate expecting to get laughed out the room, anyway we sat down to watch it and both thought it was so brilliant, downloaded the soundtrack today to listen in my car, take this sinking boat...... Love it!
What a Show!

Saw this in the cinema a few months back & was absolutely blown away, most compelling and joyous film I have seen in years, fantastic!
Definitely worth a purchase, brilliant DVD for the collection, soundtrack's excellent on it's own, but listen to it after watching the film & you will be reduced to tears!
'The Frames', Glen Hansard's band, have been around for a while & I always knew this guy could sing, but what a performance he puts in here.
Cannot recommend highly enough!
