Overall value for money and time: 7.0/10

Came to know about this movie from a friend of mine, who told me about the link to the main song of the movie "Falling Slowly". It was the song which inspired me to catch the movie. It isn't a blockbuster type movie, but has its own uniqueness about it. The plot is raw, and has a bold documentary style cinematography. The movie revolves around 2 main characters, a male basker and a female passerby who shares the same interest in music. They soon work together to record a demo disc, and sparks start to fly soon after. However, the female lead has a child, which complicates things a little. I won't spoil the story for you, though there isn't much of it in the first place. But for those who loves music, you will be inspired by this movie. I personally liked the sweet ending, though abrupt but it leaves a good feeling after the movie. Not a movie to watch in the wee hours of the night since it's dialogue dominated. Personally, you can forego this movie but DO NOT miss out on the song! Those interested in viewing the song, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoSL_qayMCc
