Once in a blue moon comes a movie which sweeps you away with the honesty of filmmaking. This was available on Amazon Prime and I've heard good things about its soundtrack so checked it out. Boy was I glad.
It is not the story narrative which appealed to me but filming of the slice of life unraveling complex human behavior of people struggling to make a living in Dublin. It's a musical which doesn't throw too much attention to music but the people. It's not fast paced - there is not forced ambition - just the experience of being human with sensitivity and compassion.
The music matched songs - stood out with sensitive soothe and would definitely have you listening to them post watching the movie too.
Small nuances like - the strings hanging from guitar / the girl dragging the vacuum cleaner on the streets and how pestering she was on the first meeting - cutely annoying (never thought I will use that phrase) / she not having batteries to play the CDs and getting them in the middle of the night singing lyrics was golden.
The lead characters - never felt like they were acting. Nothing over the top and in the end you fall in love with the main characters. I will say, these are kind of movies which make movie lovers like me feel alive. Hope and wish we see more such movies at least once in a blue moon.
