Once ***
John Carney, 2007
Ireland
@ Landmark Sunshine Cinema
It's a musical, but since the performance of the songs is actually integral to the story, and not a collection of strange, non-diegetic set pieces, it doesn't feel quite like a musical. The songs are nice, and fit well with the characters, but they could just as easily be in a really dumb movie. It's probably the performances of the two lead actors, and the setting in Dublin (with a trip to the coast), that make the movie so good.
