No review I could write would do this movie justice. It’s the equivalent of a singer-songwriter’s lyrics set to film. The music, written and performed by the movies two leads, Glen Hansard (The Commitments) and Markéta Irglová, is just fantastic. Guy is an Irish street musician who meets Girl, a Czech pianist. Girl encourages him to record his songs and the two develop an almost-romance while working on a demo CD.

Andrew and I have been saying for WEEKS that you would love this movie.
We watched it on Christmas Eve and just fell in love with it. (The music is still often playing in our home…)
I’m glad you saw it and enjoyed it!
