Once Upon a Time, There Was You

This film was a whirlwind! It was cool getting to see this at the finals last night- I wish you could have seen my grin when the singing started and the fairytale costumes came out! So funny, and yet also so sincere and moving which I didn't see coming and landed great emotionally. You guys really did it all! Super well done!

This is an absolutely beautiful story. It has both a deep, powerful message - the last line brought tears to my eyes at the final - but great humour also ("I'll be your red flag" etc were great!). The balance is perfect - the interesting story and the humour carry the viewer along to the end, enjoying it all the way, until they are hit by the "punchline", the actual message of the film, what is really going on - which is a complete surprise - and this impacts so well because of all that excellent leadup, and the fact that it takes the audience by surprise. And the story being told in song takes it to an even higher level. Utterly brilliant.
