This movie is written as a "modern day musical" where the characters communicate through songs... but it's not what you would expect. It has a raw and authentic quality which allows the messages, music, and feeling to come through without being over-produced. If you love music, or small independent films, check this one out... I think you'll come away with a smile in your heart.
Oh my goodness this is only one of my favorite movies EVER! There's a great interview I heard with Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova on Sound Opinions. What a fantastic movie!

I saw this movie a few weeks ago and I definitely came away with a smile in my heart. :) Loved the music and how it had a more realistic ending. Sad and sweet at the same time.
