    Enjoyable story. Emotional acting. Story is good, not always flowing. The star of the movie is the soundtrack which garnered an Oscar. I especially enjoyed the urban Dublin background. All in all a good hour-and-a-half music video.

    Such a beautiful and simple film, with amazing music. Some of the songs were unbelievably beautiful.
    I also loved the how simple the camera work was, it sometimes felt more like a fly on the wall music documentary than a film which fit perfectly with the story.
    Overall I really recommend it.

    This is a great film. Shot in a home video style but this doesn't distract from an excellent mix of love story and good music.

    Cinematographywise, there isn't much special about this film. With music being it's predominant substance, and somebody performing most of the time, there's little time left for things like character development. The songs aren't even woven too tightly into the plot, which is quite minimalistic; yet, it avoids cliche and has a great feeling of authenticity. Ultimately, however, whether you'll enjoy it depends solely on how much you're into this type of music.
