Well, as it turns out, barring Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen (which I recently reviewed), the first few months of 2020 releases are more barren than a frozen North Dakota countryside on a bright winter day. But unfortunately, I’m in the midst of what one of my professors has dubbed the “winter doldrums.” As such, I’ve been desperate for something - just about anything - to pass the time with. And no, day drinking is not a viable alternative; I’ve tried. So given my urge to write reviews and the lack of new movies to write about, we’ll probably spend some time these next few weeks revisiting some classics and catching up on my watchlist backlog. Or at least, we will until engineering gets insanely busy and I’m forced to put EFR aside for three months. But don’t you worry your pretty little head with that.
Anyways, that’s just a long preamble to justify why in the hell we’re talking about the micro-budget Irish film Once today. Let’s go.
