17 songs in the Soundtracks, 10 Written/performed by Glen Hansard, 2 Written/performed by Markéta Irglová, 2 written jointly. All are acoustic ballads.
Lots of singing/performing. I think they estimate (featurette) that 60% of the film is songs. Some of it underscore, but somehow it feels different than a normal underscore.
Likable characters, surprising the direction the relationship took.
2 c.tracks with the same trio (dir, stars); I only sat through the 1st one.
Rated 7.9 (103,838)
