1. Quality

2. Summary

   Really Great 4.5

   A really good independent movie that follows the relationship of a busker in Ireland and an immigrant from the Czech Republic. The relationship has music as its core, and the story is told mostly through the music the two create. The film won many awards, including a Grammy for one of its songs.

4. Acting

   Really Great 4.5

   Really good performances by the actors, especially considering that on top of acting, they also wrote the songs.

8. Male Costars Great 4.0

12. Play Perfect 5.0

13. Music Perfect 5.0

    Amazing soundtrack that produced a Grammy-winning song. I’m actually listening to it right now.

14. Visuals Great 4.0

    Reminded me of a TV show on TLC or Discovery rather than a movie, but I’m not sure the movie would have been as good had the filmography been done differently.
