SING STREET takes us back to 1980s Dublin seen through the eyes of a 14-year-old boy named Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) who is looking for a break from a home while trying to adjust to his new inner-city school. He finds a glimmer of hope in the beautiful Raphina (Lucy Boynton), and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band's music videos. There's only one problem: he's no Review: Once More? - From Once writer/director John Carney comes secret reboot Sing Street. He sure knows how to write and direct movies about motley outcasts starting bands in Ireland. On the one hand this movie bottles (at the source) a perfect cocktail of uniquely, or nearly uniquely, teenage feelings. The belief not just in the possible but in the inevitable, in the – dare I say it – destined. On the other hand, I do have to dare to say it, because the successes of this movie highlight the distance I have traveled, drifted rather, from a place where destiny, where getting the girl through the power of music, where love can cross all boundaries, or at least the Irish Sea, where losers can become kings, seemed possible, let alone destined. And again that is based on this film’s success. I imagine the cynics, if not converted, will have a harder time buying into the cheesiness of this movie than the rest of us. And I don’t bunch myself in with the rest of the cynics there, because I do bunch myself in with the converted. This movie might be tropey, it might check all of the boxes that you would expect, but in doing so manages a few good left jabs with some of the most compelling and believable characters on screen in recent memory, (You can’t watch Paper Towns or The Spectacular Now without wondering whether or not Hollywood knows what kids are anymore) with awkward moments, and anger, and sadness, in perfect measures, and moments, the sort that we can believe in because we’ve had them before. And then a good clean right hook of an original soundtrack to follow that up. Some of the best moments in the movie are when characters don’t understand what the hell other characters are talking about. Someone says something profound in The Fault in our Stars and everyone just goes wow, or worse, acts like that’s the way everyone talks all the time. Someone says something a bit complicated in Sing Street and characters argue about what it means, or call it stupid, or pretentious. It pulls you in like that. “I’ve been there. This was me.

And yet I went.” Review: BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN 21TH CENTURY - This is the best film I've seen in my life I think. I cannot think of any other movie that made me so much made my heart beat and stimulated my desire of art and life of becoming something to acheive, love, art and my work everything in life. After watching this movie it was 12 am and I was afraid that I might not be able to go to sleep. But luckily I was able too. How can I start! The music that they created, the original songs are so well made that I was not able to breath. The story is something that we all have been go through in our chilhood life. A boy falls in love with a girl. He can do anything to acheive her. He even makes this band to prove that he can sing because she is a model- wanna be model- and the only way to approach her is to be a singer and work with her as make her a model in their music video model at that time. Just like the Japanese movie SHALL WE DANCE, it started with him taking dance lesson to approach to the daning teacher. This movie, he started to sing to approach to this one year older then him girl. Then he discovers that how much he loves music and how much talented he is singing and composing. Man, what a Ride!!! The movie just get better and better that I really couldn't breath. By the end of the movie, I was almost about to choke to death. When finally the band is having a concert at school and there is this one retro 50s song playing with dream like sequence is on the screen with 50 style american people are dancing with their song, it was just pure fantasy, a dream that everyone wanted to be. If you have seen CARRIE the movie where there is a Junior prom sequence is on, you might have more idea what I'm talking about. But the song is not a slow one it was more of a hillarious dance song with so much telxture beyond it. Because the girl didn't appeared at the moment and this song is actually for her. This is a love song to every girls. This is a love song for who helped the boy out who is his brother. This is all the lover out there who is seeking to expose their ability to the world. Not fame they wanted to show. The star is not they wanted to be. It is their desire to be a well known artist. IF you wanted to be opened your heart, mind and soul this is your man. If you want to stay in wonderland not knowing where your going to, be there and rot.

More Than Meets the Eye
As one can read from the reviews here, SING STREET is a thoroughly enjoyable, "feel-good" film. Anyone who remembers the MTV-fueled 80s "modern music" scene will find plenty of nostalgia here. The new music is interspersed with 80s standards, and holds up completely..."Drive It Like You Stole It" should be smash hit in any rational universe. On one level, it's a wonderful throwback to 80s films. But there's more to this movie than that...a fact that reveals itself more and more on repeated viewings. First of all, every character has a dark reality, that is only hinted at in the various scenes. Paying attention to the dialogue will reveal some subtle, startling insights. More importantly, this film blurs the line between fantasy and reality in the character's lives. It's obvious in the "Drive It" performance, but it's there throughout. How much is really happening, versus what the characters are imagining? I was actually reminded of Terry Gilliam's work in that respect. Without giving anything away, let me just ask: Did the ending (about which many have commented here) really happen the way we see it? There's a foreshadowing of the ending during the first few minutes of the film, that suggests that the outcome was altogether not what we think it is. If none of this make any sense (and it might not since I am determined not to give away any spoilers) the movie is completely delightful on its basic level. That's one of the great things about it, and i loved it. But there's more lurking under the surface that will justify repeated viewings...

A Joyful, Vibrant Film Packed with 80s Charm and Heart—Eamon Absolutely Shines
“Sing Street” is one of those rare films that feels joyful from start to finish. Set in 1980s Dublin, it follows Conor as he forms a band and discovers creativity, friendship, and self-expression through music. The pacing is lively, the tone is warm, and the movie has an infectious energy that makes it impossible not to enjoy. One of the biggest highlights is Eamon, who truly steals the show in his own gentle way. He’s the quietly gifted musician who becomes Conor’s closest collaborator—handling arrangements, instruments, harmonies, everything. But what makes him memorable isn’t just his talent; it’s his shy charm, his kindness, and his quirky love for animals. Every scene with Eamon adds warmth and humor to the film. The songwriting scenes between Conor and Eamon are especially delightful. Their chemistry is natural and fun, capturing the exhilaration of creating something new with a friend who understands you. These scenes embody what the film does best: showing how music becomes a creative bond that shapes their identities. Visually and sonically, the film embraces its 80s setting with flair. The music videos within the movie are playful and stylish, and the original songs—especially “Drive It Like You Stole It”—are incredibly catchy and emotionally resonant. While the movie touches on themes like family struggles, school challenges, and young love, it never loses its hopeful spirit. By the final scene, you're left with a renewed sense of optimism and the urge to chase your own creativity. “Sing Street” is uplifting, funny, musical, and heartfelt—a film that celebrates the joy of making art with the people who matter. An easy, enthusiastic five-star experience.

Sing Street review!
Great Movie!

Another wonderful real musical from John Carney
Just as in Once and Begin Again, John Carney creates a story where the main character is “the music.” The songs created feel real and fit the characters and settings, becoming such an integral part of the story. Sing Street is a great coming of age story where a young boy is discovering the music of the 80’s and a romantic interest, all while learning how to write and play said music. Does he learn how to play too quickly? Does his band become really good so fast? Does he write too many catchy songs totally capable of being in the top ten with virtually zero experience? Yes to all of those but you’re not here for reality. You’re here for a fun ride. You’re here to see a great story of a character trying to follow his dreams and THAT is what you’ll get.
