Once is the sort of film that elicits a genuine — and deserving — sigh of “aw” from audience members. A little reminiscent of Linklater’s Before Sunrise/Before Sunset series, Carey’s film moves past the romantic chemistry between two strangers into something more universally touching; love and passion for art (in this case, music), and the good things that can happen when we inspire one another. Lovely performances, and more effortlessly constructed than my sentimental description may lead you to believe.
