How often do you find the right person?

A vacuum repairman moonlights as a street musician and hopes for his big break. One day a Czech immigrant, who earns a living selling flowers, approaches him with the news that she is also an aspiring singer-songwriter. The pair decide to collaborate, and the songs that they compose reflect the story of their blossoming love.

James Greenberg · The Hollywood Reporter 100.00/100.00

The film has enormous charm and zero pretense.

冰红深蓝 5.00/5.00

17天和18万欧元,手提摄影,无姓名的人物,即兴的本色表演,实拍的路人街景...简单朴素中却有着最真实纯粹的感动,若即若离带着缺憾的爱情尤使人动容。影片音乐美妙到能穿透观者的灵魂,那抢夺后的追逐与和解,如清风拂面,边听边唱一路回家之长镜,像鸟啭莺啼,结尾望向窗外,似雨露沾襟。(9.0/10)

Ella Taylor · L.A. Weekly 100.00/100.00

Once feels handmade in the best sense, an impressionistic feast for the senses cobbled together from lovely grace notes and a warm palette of reds and yellows.
