Not at all what you expect...
What I liked:
- As a fan of The Swell Season and the movie Once, it is always cool to get a behind the scenes look.
- I learned a lot of new things about Markéta Irglova and Glen Hansard.
- Besides hearing music by The Swell Season there is also The Frames and Band of Horses.
- I love that it was filmed in black and white.
- The cinematography was beautiful.
What I didn't like:
- The film lacked focus. It wasn't about making Once. It wasn't about the songs. It touched briefly on these things but went all over the place.
- It does focus on Markéta and Glen's relationship but more towards the end, when they are breaking up. It's always difficult to watch the demise of a relationship especially when you are rooting so hard for them to make it.
Grade: B-
