Beautiful, moving film.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
I really enjoyed the music, the acting, the cinematography, the story. But here's the but...There were a few scenes with the lead actor singing that felt completely out of kilter with the era. I suspect they were added to sell to a younger generation or to promote a new star?Hopefully there will be a shorter Director's cut and then this film will be up there with The Commitments and Gregory's Girl.
Just caught this on Netflix. What a surprise! Great movie with catchy music. Reminded me of being in Dublin as a teen in the early 80s. So cute.
Wow. What an absolutely beautiful film. It is so simple. It is about teenagers in a band. But the humor is so well-timed, and the music so...awesome...that it is a real pleasure to watch. I only heard about Sing Street because of its Golden Globe nomination (which it completely deserved) and didn't watch it on Netflix until well through 2017. I regret not seeing it sooner.One of the great parts of Sing Street is that the teenagers are actually played by teenagers, not 20 year-olds pretending to be 14 (cough cough Spider-man). They're really believable kids, and just so likable. Their personal stories are interesting and the way they see the world is fascinating to experience. It all feels very real.Sing Street also has an INCREDIBLE SOUNDTRACK that compliments the story so well. Up is my favorite.Jack Reynor totally deserved his Irish Oscar. He was such a REAL older brother. I did it again, and said how real it felt. That's part of the beauty of the film. It just feels real. But back to Jack Reynor. I didn't know him from anything else, but he was so good in this that when I first saw his face as a racist cop in Detroit (a SUPER intense film) that I actually laughed. Thanks Sing Street.Must see film. Just bunny stuff.
"La La Lame" is all I can say after watching this much superior music-centric film. Awards shows are popularity contests, but we already knew that. "For brothers everywhere". That's all I wanted to say but there is a 5-line minimum. That's all I wanted to say but there is a 5-line minimum.
