It's called 'Once' because you can only watch it once ...
Totally CRAP! It was so boring and all the songs sounded the same.... Maybe they were all the same songs.... Don't know....
I have no idea how it won so many awards!

One of the mest romances of all time!
This unique exploration of REAL LIFE with beautiful music is surprisingly fresh. No movie of this genre has ever successfully made a real love story out of real life. THe music is very simplstic, and it never feels boring. There are many very emotional moments that can tend to hit you when you're not expecting.
This movie only has one sexual reference ("hanky-panky"), but it deserves its R rating. In the beginning, the 'F' word is dropped pervasively and occasionally slows down. The 'S' word is used once or twice in a song lyric as well. BUT THE MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL! ALso, there is a brief shot of the main character pretending to smoke from an empty hookah, but again, it is empty. Love can be confusing, and sometimes anger-inducing, but it will always come to fruition... or will it? Watch the movie to figure out. The vocals are spotless, the instrumentation is well-done, the acting is immaculate, and it make for a one-of-a-kind success. Recommended for re-watching many times. 5 STARS.

great movie!! best musical ever! touchiness overcomes swearing
great movie, really touching, TONS of swearing though, if your my age. really doesn't deserve the R rating. The great emotional content in this movie really overcomes the swearing. Amazing music, but you have to get used to the Irish accent.(which takes about 30 minutes.) great, great is all i can say.

wonderful movie
This is a fantastic movie for everyone, and kids should definitely be allowed to see it. Trust me parents, they've heard this language already and it's not going to hurt them if they hear it 10 times in this movie. Once is one of the best movies of the year.

Shouldn't be R!
More PG-13 than R, just a lot of language.
Pretty good, kind of boring for teens at times.

A Very Touching Film
This movie is the kind of movie that comes around once in a lifetime. When I was 10 I saw this movie, and even though it's R there is nothing to worry about. There is some use of the F-word, but you would hear that much F-words in 20 minutes in a 4th grade cafeteria. Everyone should see this movie. It's about a man who is a street performer that falls for a flower saleswoman and together they record a week's worth of music. The music is so astonishing and emotional that I almost cried when they played Falling Slowly. It's a romance about life, not sex. All in all, this is now one of my favorite films of all-time.

"R"? You're kidding me, right.
I'm so glad my parents let me see this. Forget the "R" rating. There are probably at least six films I've seen this year that deserve it more. "Once" is a wonderful love story, with great music, particularly "Falling Slowly". Age reccom. 10+ (Don't worry about the "R".
