**** Stars Once is an eighty-eight minute film about two people named guy and girl who hang out and play music. And with that, it is unlike any musical you have ever seen and is one of the best ever put on screen.
A Guitar player and song writer named 'The guy' works part-time helping his father run a small, vacuum cleaner repair business, but dreams of one day having his songs recorded and landing a record deal. Emotionally vulnerable after his split with his girlfriend, he meets 'the Girl', an Eastern European immigrant who has moved to Dublin to start a new life for herself. Currently working as a house cleaner in an upper-class residence, she is struggling financially. As the guy loves the guitar, the girl loves the piano. Their musical passions help them through their rough struggles in life.
This is the best film so far this year. It brings back the simplicity towards movie-making and how a few songs can show the beauty and elegance missing in the world today.
