Terrible music in this


The two leads had good chemistry and I enjoyed the settings but the whiny, awful music just ruined it for me. I'd suggest watching Music and Lyrics instead.

I don't agree, but obviously if you don't like the music in this I don't see how you could like the movie.

Couldn't disagree more; the music in this film is fantastic and helps compliment the mood of the story and its characters. "Falling Slowly" in particular is one of the best songs I've heard in the past decade. Music, however, is a subjective experience so I'm sure there will be those who don't like it but personally I loved it.

I love the music in this. It's soulful and well crafted.

Yeah it's awful.
I hate that whiney same tune over and over weak sh^t that we have been bombarded with since about 1999 anyway.
It's the sort of thing that tries so hard to be beautiful it actually becomes disgusting.

Music and Lyrics is a terrible film with mediocre music, go listen to good music before preaching what bad music is.

im with OP on this. i like all kinds of music and while i dont strongly dislike the music in "once" its all a bit samey and all very depressing and slow. its a shame as itd be awesoem otherwise!

Wow, I couldn't disagree more. The music is what made me love it, so much so that I also became a fan of Glen Hansard's band The Frames. But whatever floats your boat, right?

Save some face, you know you've only got one...smile like you mean it.

It's really difficult to tell the difference between Trolling, Ignorance and stupidity nowadays. Especially in IMDb.
