Saw Once last night. It was great.

From a NY Times review:

...“Once” is not a typical musical, rock or otherwise. The film tells the story of a busker who meets a young Eastern European pianist on the streets of Dublin. The two become friends and collaborators; although each is in the midst of a troubled relationship, they also become potential lovers. As the two characters rehearse and record the busker’s songs, the musical performances are woven into the narrative; instead of being jarring set pieces, they’re part of the plot.

[The director] hopes that the ambiguous relationship at the core of the film will also resonate with viewers. “It’s the ones who are gone who haunt you for the rest of your life,” he said. “Instead of saying, ‘I love you’ or ‘I miss you,’ they just disappear.”
