Nell Minow AWFJ.org Filled with the liberating jubilation of making music... Sep 29, 2021 Full Review Antonia Quirke Financial Times Piffle, really, with guitars. Rated: 2/5 Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Sing Street, while not telling a tale that could be labeled as anything close to original, still crackles with an innovative vitality all its own, making its climactic leaps into the starry-eyed unknown all the more wonderful because of this. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 11, 2016 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film “Drive It Like You Stole It” should win the Oscar for Best Original song. It’s such a catchy tune that also plays well into the film thematically. Not to mention, the scene it is used in is arguably the best individual scene of 2016. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film Throw in a slew of catchy songs, and a brotherly bond between two characters that will stand the test of time, and Sing Street sings beautifully. Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Josh Slater-Williams Vague Visages The spirit of Gregory’s Girl is definitely running throughout Sing Street... Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

eric g Has become one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Adore the music, the performances, and how 1980s Dublin was brought life. It's like I wasn't watching a movie anymore, I was watching these events unfold in real time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Diokes P Estamos falando simplesmente de um dos melhores filmes do Genêro, você se sente assistindo um filme dos anos 80, a pegada adolescente, te reacende a luz daquela época dentro de você. A "Raphina" simplesmente destrói no personagem, ela é muito impactante quando aparece, Ferdia também arrasa entregando um personagem principal perfeito! obrigado meus amigos por me trazerem um filme tão incrivel! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Lisa C Loved it. Fun, uplifting and entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Peter A Lovely music and a story with heart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Markuta Easily one of my all time favourite movies! Loooove it , it's a must watch for anyone who loves Indy music films or just loves Ireland Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Allan C A terrific nostalgia piece for the 80s, a celebration of music, and a celebration of young love. I usually loathe films that sound like that, but this one is pretty irresistible. A boy puts together a band to impress a girl who he invites to be in his music video (there was no band when asked her). That setup may sound like a rather conventional teen comedy but this 1980s Dublin set story has a heart to it that you rarely get in most teen comedies. It's from writer/director John Carney, creator of the fantastic Amazon anthology series MODERN LOVE and the equally great films BEGIN AGAIN and ONCE. What I love about Carney's work is that he tells stories that manage to feel whimsical yet rawly realistic. His story pitches must sound completely conventional, but his careful balance of realism and movie artifice makes his films feel unique. I also love how music always plays an integral role in all of his films. With a story about a group of kids putting together a band in 1985 offers Carney the perfect opportunity to put some classic 80s tunes on the soundtrack and for the band to create their original songs riffing on everything from Duran Duran to The Cure. Featuring a cast of immensely talented unknown teens (particularly Ferdia Walsh-Peelo as the boy leading the band and Lucy Boynton as the girl he's trying to impress), and with some familiar adult actors (Maria Doyle Kennedy from ORPHAN BLACK and Aidan Gillen from GAME OF THRONES as the boy's mom and dad, and Jack Reynor from MIDSOMMAR and some TRANSFORMERS movie as the "wise" older brother who is full of advice on both girls and music), the cast is utterly perfect. I could not picture anyone else playing any of these parts! SING STREET is a film I defy anyone to not be completely enchanted by. Five stars may be overpraising for this film, but I had a stupid smile on my face throughout the entire movie. Highly recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
