I just returned from seeing this truly amazing movie, and I must say that it is one of the greatest films I have seen in quite some time. It was shot on a very low budget and real musicians were used rather than actors, however Once trumps almost every high budget film I have seen in the past few years. I fell in love with the two main characters the minute they appeared on screen, and the entire movie was just a wonderful experience.
I highly recommend that if this film is playing in your city, that you go see it immediately. If not, go out and buy the soundtrack to the movie which is equally as amazing.
You would probably have luck checking out local arthouse theaters, as that is where it is most likely going to be playing. It's a small Irish film, so I don't think they have large distribution outside of Ireland.
Also, to those who may know of the Irish group The Frames, the main character in this film is Glen Hansard from that group.
is that guyin the movie the one who played the guy who was addicted to painkillers in scrubs, and convinced elliot to give him some pills, then perry told elliott not to give them to him, then in the big reveal we learn that dr.cox was the first person to prescribe the guy pills?
The butterscotch stallion is indeed a shirt. I didn't design it though. It's actually a shirt of Owen Wilson that they sell on some site. His nickname is the butterscotch stallion, which is ridiculous. Haha, I have no idea why its in my profile.
