Once

Last night, we ventured to The Angelika to see something other than a Will Ferrell comedy or Denzel Washington action-drama. Once, the movie we ended up choosing, really took us by surprise. This movie has been compared to Garden State, so we were expecting to be left thinking about life. They were able accomplish this in a really unique way. The writers were able to create these very relatable characters. Neither one of the two main characters were put on a pedestal; each had their own flaws and problems, problems that the average human being struggles with in their life. You could definitely sense there was chemistry between the two, but, as the viewer, I wasn't really sure if I wanted anything to happen between them. They developed this symbiotic relationship helping themselves, while helping one another at the same time. The duo was able to make beautiful music together, literally. The music created in the movie is unbelievable. Props to whoever wrote all the original songs.
